Combine multiple filters with `match=any` or `match=all`.","Filter by zone state with `status` (initializing | pending | active | moved) and by zone type with `type` (comma-separated: full, partial, secondary, internal).","Sort with `order` (name | status | account.id | account.name | plan.id) and `direction` (asc | desc).","Paginate with `page` and `per_page`. The response carries a `result_info` object with page, per_page, count, total_count and total_pages — use total_pages to decide whether to fetch more.","Parse the standard envelope {\"success\":bool,\"result\":[{Zone}],\"result_info\":{...},\"errors\":[],\"messages\":[]}. Take result[0].id as the zone ID and result[0].status to confirm the zone is active.","Optionally re-read a single zone with GET https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{zone_id}, which returns the same Zone object shape in the same envelope.
