Zone.is(z): boolean

• z: The other object that may, or may not, be a Zone object.
• Returns: true if the parameter is a Zone object, otherwise false.

browseZones([query, [options]]): Promise<PaginatedResponse<Zone[]>>

• query: An object to pass filter and sorting parameters to the API
• options: see Request Options
• Returns: A Promise that resolves to a list of Zone objects wrapped in a PaginatedResponse
• API Reference: List zones

Retrives the list of Zone objects, optionally filtered and sorted by query options.

readZone(z_id, [options]): Promise<Zone>

deleteCache(z, query, [options]): Promise<bool>

• z: Zone object or string zone id
• query: The (required) purge options for the API:
  • purge_everything: Delete all of the zone's content from the CloudFlare cache. Note: This may cause an increase in connections to your server after performing this action.
