The consult ID is a unique identifier associated with an API token. It's used to ensure that API requests are routed to the correct token. While the API key authenticates the request, the consult ID ensures that the authenticated request is associated with the specific API token you've created, allowing Cloudflare to track and manage API usage correctly.
