Turn off Auto Minify via API

Last updated Apr 16, 2026 If your site is still using deprecated features for Auto Minify, turn off Auto Minify via API.

Before you begin

You will need an API token with the following permissions:

• Zone > Zone Settings > Edit
• Zone > Zone Settings > Read

(Optional) Check zone status

To check your zone's Auto Minify status, send a GET request to the /zones/{zone_id}/settings/minify endpoint.

curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{zone_id}/settings/minify" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>"

{
    "result": {
        "id": "minify",
        "value": { "css": "off", "html": "off", "js": "off" },
        "modified_on": null,
        "editable": true
    },
    "success": true,
    "errors": [],
    "messages": []
}

If any of the values in the highlighted line are "on", then you need to turn them off.

Turn off Auto Minify using the API

To turn off Auto Minify for your zone, send a PATCH request to the /zones/{zone_id}/settings/minify endpoint. The value for success in the response should be true.

curl --request PATCH \
"https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{zone_id}/settings/minify" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{ "value": { "css": "off","html": "off","js": "off" } }'

{
    "result": {
        "id": "minify",
        "value": { "js": "off", "css": "off", "html": "off" },
        "modified_on": "2024-11-15T19:32:20.882640Z",
        "editable": true
    },
    "success": true,
    "errors": [],
    "messages": []
}
