Update IP Access Rule via API

[AMFMPT]

Hi,

I’m trying to update my IP Access Rule IP address via API with:

curl -X PATCH "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/MYDATA/firewall/access_rules/rules/MYDATA" \
     -H "X-Auth-Email: MYMAIL" \
     -H "X-Auth-Key: MYKEY" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     --data '{"id":"MYID","notes":"MYNAME","allowed_modes":["whitelist","block","challenge","js_challenge","managed_challenge"],"mode":"whitelist","configuration":{"target":"ip","value":"MYIP"},"scope":{"id":"MYSCOPEiD","email":"MYMAIL","type":"user"}}'

I can change the note, the mode but not the IP.

I get no error from the API, it simply doesn’t change the IP address. The documentation gives this exact example:

curl -X PATCH "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/01a7362d577a6c3019a474fd6f485823/firewall/access_rules/rules/92f17202ed8bd63d69a66b86a49a8f6b" \
     -H "X-Auth-Email: [email protected]" \
     -H "X-Auth-Key: c2547eb745079dac9320b638f5e225cf483cc5cfdda41" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     --data '{"id":"92f17202ed8bd63d69a66b86a49a8f6b","notes":"This rule is enabled because of an event that occurred on date X.","allowed_modes":["whitelist","block","challenge","js_challenge","managed_challenge"],"mode":"challenge","configuration":{"target":"ip","value":"198.51.100.4"},"created_on":"2014-01-01T05:20:00.12345Z","modified_on":"2014-01-01T05:20:00.12345Z","scope":{"id":"7c5dae5552338874e5053f2534d2767a","email":"[email protected]","type":"user"}}'

Any hint?

Thank you!

I recommend you to first LIST your rules:
https://api.cloudflare.com/#ip-access-rules-for-a-user-list-ip-access-rules

then try to update the specific IP, using that information.

If you continue to struggling, just create a new rule and delete the old one.

I get your point, but as per the official documentation my Curl request should update the IP address and it doesn’t happen.
