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_added boolean
• the managed_by_apps boolean and corresponding apps_install_id
• the managed_by_argo_tunnel boolean and corresponding argo_tunnel_id

An example record returned from the API would now look like the following:

Updated API Responsejson
