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.

Request
curl --request DELETE \
https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/rulesets/{ruleset_id} \

--header "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.

Request
curl --request DELETE \
https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/rulesets/{ruleset_id}/versions/{version_number} \

--header "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>"
