# Turn off Auto Minify via API

Last updated Aug 24, 2026|Copy as Markdown|[View as Markdown](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/speed/optimization/content/troubleshooting/disable-auto-minify/index.md)|[Agent setup](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

If your site is still using deprecated features for [Auto Minify](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/api/reference/deprecations/#2024-08-05), turn off Auto Minify via API.

## Before you begin

You will need an [API token](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/api/get-started/create-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.

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

```json
{
	"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`.

```bash
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" } }'
```

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