Update Zone Precursor Config

client.Precursor.Update(ctx, params) (*PrecursorConfig, error)
PUT/zones/{zone_id}/precursor

Updates the Precursor configuration for a zone.

default_mode sets the zone-level enforcement mode. enforcement_rules is the ordered list of rules that override enforcement for matching requests.

This is a partial update: only the fields present in the request body are changed.

  • Sending an empty array ([]) clears all enforcement rules.
  • At least one of default_mode or enforcement_rules must be present; an empty body ({}) is rejected with 400.
  • Rule id is read-only (assigned by Cloudflare) and ignored on input.
  • Rule mode must be min-friction or max-security (off is not a valid rule mode; use default_mode to disable enforcement).
Security
API Token

The preferred authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API. Create a token.

Example:Authorization: Bearer Sn3lZJTBX6kkg7OdcBUAxOO963GEIyGQqnFTOFYY
API Email + API Key

The previous authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API, used in conjunction with a Global API key.

Example:X-Auth-Email: user@example.com

The previous authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API. When possible, use API tokens instead of Global API keys.

Example:X-Auth-Key: 144c9defac04969c7bfad8efaa8ea194

type PrecursorConfig struct{…}
DefaultMode PrecursorConfigDefaultModeOptional

The zone-level Precursor enforcement mode applied to requests that do not match a more specific enforcement rule.

One of the following:
const PrecursorConfigDefaultModeOff PrecursorConfigDefaultMode = "off"
const PrecursorConfigDefaultModeMinFriction PrecursorConfigDefaultMode = "min-friction"
const PrecursorConfigDefaultModeMaxSecurity PrecursorConfigDefaultMode = "max-security"
EnforcementRules []EnforcementRuleOptional

The ordered list of enforcement rules for the zone.

Expression string

The filter expression that determines which requests the rule matches.

Mode EnforcementRuleMode

The override mode Precursor applies to requests matching an enforcement rule. Unlike default_mode, this cannot be off.

One of the following:
const EnforcementRuleModeMinFriction EnforcementRuleMode = "min-friction"
const EnforcementRuleModeMaxSecurity EnforcementRuleMode = "max-security"
ID stringOptional
