# PUT examples

## Update multiple filters

This example updates two filters with IDs `<FILTER_ID_1>` and `<FILTER_ID_2>` using a single API call.

Request

```
curl --request PUT \"https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{zone_id}/filters" \--header "X-Auth-Email: <EMAIL>" \--header "X-Auth-Key: <API_KEY>" \--header "Content-Type: application/json" \--data '[  {    "id": "<FILTER_ID_1>",    "paused": false,    "expression": "ip.src eq 93.184.216.0",    "description": "IP of example.org"  },  {    "id": "<FILTER_ID_2>",    "expression": "http.request.uri.path matches \"^/api/.*$\"",    "description": "/api"  }]'
```

Response

```
{  "result": [    {      "id": "<FILTER_ID>",      "paused": false,      "description": "IP of example.org",      "expression": "ip.src eq 93.184.216.0"    },    {      "id": "<FILTER_ID_2>",      "paused": false,      "description": "/api",      "expression": "http.request.uri.path matches \"^/api/.*$\""    }  ],  "success": true,  "errors": [],  "messages": []}
```

## Update a single filter

This example updates the filter with ID `{filter_id}`.

Request

```
curl --request PUT \"https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{zone_id}/filters/{filter_id}" \--header "X-Auth-Email: <EMAIL>" \--header "X-Auth-Key: <API_KEY>" \--header "Content-Type: application/json" \--data '{  "id": "<FILTER_ID>",  "paused": false,  "description": "Login from office",  "expression": "ip.src in {2400:cb00::/32 2a06:98c0::/29} and (http.request.uri.path ~ \"^.*/wp-login.php$\" or http.request.uri.path ~ \"^.*/xmlrpc.php$\")"}'
```

Response

```
{  "result": {    "id": "<FILTER_ID>",    "paused": false,    "description": "Login from office",    "expression": "ip.src in {2400:cb00::/32 2a06:98c0::/29} and (http.request.uri.path ~ \"^.*/wp-login.php$\" or http.request.uri.path ~ \"^.*/xmlrpc.php$\")"  },  "success": true,  "errors": [],  "messages": []}
