Workflow

Request: the code to send to the API

Send a DELETE request to the resource /loudvoice/authors/<author_token>.json to immediately remove an author and all of his comments. The <author_token> has to be replaced by the unique token of an existing author.

You can also delete the author using his reference and the following endpoint: /loudvoice/authors/author.json?author_reference=<author_reference>.

To prevent you from unintentionally deleting an entry by mixing up the DELETE/GET methods you have to include the url parameter confirm_deletion=true when calling this endpoint.

Result: the code returned by the API

The API will either return a HTTP status code 200 if the entry was sucessfully deleted or an appropriate message body with further details on the error that occured.
