Delete rulesets
You can use the API to delete all the versions of a ruleset or delete a specific version of a ruleset.
Delete ruleset
Deletes all the versions of an existing ruleset at the account or zone level.
Use one of the following API endpoints:
| Operation | Method + Endpoint |
|---|---|
| Delete an account ruleset | DELETE /accounts/<ACCOUNT_ID>/rulesets/<RULESET_ID> |
| Delete a zone ruleset | DELETE /zones/<ZONE_ID>/rulesets/<RULESET_ID> |
If the delete operation succeeds, the API method call returns a 204 No Content HTTP status code.
Example
The following example request deletes an existing ruleset.
Requestcurl -X DELETE \
"https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/<ACCOUNT_ID>/rulesets/<RULESET_ID>" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>"
Delete ruleset version
Deletes a specific version of a ruleset.
Use one of the following API endpoints:
| Operation | Method + Endpoint |
|---|---|
| Delete an account ruleset version | DELETE /accounts/<ACCOUNT_ID>/rulesets/<RULESET_ID>/versions/<VERSION_NUMBER> |
| Delete a zone ruleset version | DELETE /zones/<ZONE_ID>/rulesets/<RULESET_ID>/versions/<VERSION_NUMBER> |
If the delete operation succeeds, the method call returns a 204 No Content HTTP status code.
Later updates to the ruleset will not reuse the version number of a deleted ruleset version.
Example
The following example request deletes a version of an existing ruleset.
Requestcurl -X DELETE \
"https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/<ACCOUNT_ID>/rulesets/<RULESET_ID>/versions/<VERSION_NUMBER>" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>"
