API v4 deprecations

Cloudflare occasionally makes updates to our APIs that result in behavior changes or deprecations. When this happens, we will communicate when the API will no longer be available and whether there will be a replacement.

​​ Argo Tunnel

End of life Date: February 4, 2024

This endpoint and its related APIs are deprecated in favor of the Cloudflare Tunnels equivalent APIs.

Deprecated API:

  • GET accounts/:account_identifier/tunnels
  • POST accounts/:account_identifier/tunnels
  • GET accounts/:account_identifier/tunnels/:tunnel_id
  • DELETE accounts/:account_identifier/tunnels/:tunnel_id

Replacement: Cloudflare Tunnel API

​​ Account Billing Profile, User Billing Profile, and User Billing History

​​ Transfer-Encoding and Content-Length headers

End of life date: March 31, 2023

Previously, RFC 2616 allowed the use of Transfer-Encoding and Content-Length HTTP headers in the same request. RFC 7230 supersedes RFC 2616 and prohibits the use of Transfer-Encoding and Content-Length headers in the same request because they can cause HTTP request smuggling vulnerabilities.

Starting on March 31, 2023, Cloudflare will decline requests with both Transfer-Encoding and Content-Length HTTP headers.

This endpoint is deprecated in favor of using a specialized Access Application App Type API.
