# Remove fields from API response

If origin responds with `JSON`, parse the response and delete fields to return a modified response.

JavaScript

```

export default {

  async fetch(request) {

    // Send original request to the origin

    const response = await fetch(request);

    // Check if origin responded with JSON

    try {

      // Parse API response as JSON

      var api_response = response.json();

      // Specify the fields you want to delete. For example, to delete "botManagement" array from parsed JSON:

      delete api_response.botManagement;

      // Serve modified API response

      return Response.json(api_response);

    } catch (err) {

      // On failure, serve unmodified origin's response

      return response;

    }

  },

};
