# Turn off Auto Minify via API

If your site is still using deprecated features for [Auto Minify](https://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://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.

Terminal window

```
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`.

Terminal window

```
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": []}
```
