You can use the `Invoke-WebRequest` cmdlet in PowerShell along with the Cloudflare API to query DNS records. First, obtain a Cloudflare API token. Then, construct the API URL for DNS record retrieval. Use `Invoke-WebRequest` to send a GET request to the URL and parse the JSON response to extract the desired DNS records. Example: `(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{zone_id}/dns_records?name={record_name}' -Headers @{'Authorization'='Bearer {api_token}'} -Method Get).Content`
