Delete a licence

DELETE/licences/{id}

Costs 2 rate-limit points · Rate limits

Delete one licence key, as the Licence keys page's Delete does. A key on an order is removed from it and the order is marked so no replacement is assigned automatically. Destructive: send it first without confirm. Nothing changes and the 409 confirmation_required says what would. Tell the merchant, ask, and resend with confirm: true only after they agree. For more than one, use POST /licences/bulk_delete, which previews the counts; don't call this in a loop.

Without confirm: true nothing is deleted: 409 confirmation_required names the key and its order.

Errors

401

Missing or invalid API key.

404

The resource does not exist for this shop, or the action path is not registered.

422

The request failed validation, or sent a key the action does not take (code: "unknown_parameters" with unknown and accepted). Nothing was saved.

429

Rate limited. Cost-weighted per API key, shared with API v1: a read costs 1 point, a write 2, 40 points per fixed 60-second window. Every response carries X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset (Unix time the window ends); a 429 adds Retry-After (seconds), retry_after, retryable: true and a next_step in the body. A 429 did nothing: wait retry_after seconds, then send the same request again. The budget is per key, so every tool or script using the key shares it; prefer one list call with per_page over many single reads.

Every error has the same shape: see Errors.
