Removed unused meta fields from DNS records
Cloudflare is removing five fields from the meta object of DNS records. These fields have been unused for more than a year and are no longer set on new records. This change may take up to four weeks to fully roll out.
The affected fields are:
- the
auto_addedboolean - the
managed_by_appsboolean and correspondingapps_install_id - the
managed_by_argo_tunnelboolean and correspondingargo_tunnel_id
An example record returned from the API would now look like the following:
{
"result": {
"id": "<ID>",
"zone_id": "<ZONE_ID>",
"zone_name": "example.com",
"name": "www.example.com",
"type": "A",
"content": "192.0.2.1",
"proxiable": true,
"proxied": false,
"ttl": 1,
"locked": false,
"meta": {
"auto_added": false,
"managed_by_apps": false,
"managed_by_argo_tunnel": false,
"source": "primary"
},
"comment": null,
"tags": [],
"created_on": "2025-03-17T20:37:05.368097Z",
"modified_on": "2025-03-17T20:37:05.368097Z"
},
"success": true,
"errors": [],
"messages": []
