Workflow

Request: the code to send to the API

Send an API request to one of these endpoints in order to delete an existing discussion:

DELETE /loudvoice/discussion/<discussion_token>.json
DELETE /loudvoice/discussions/discussion.json?discussion_reference=<discussion_reference>

The <discussion_token> represents the unique identifier of the discussion. The <discussion_reference> is the unique reference that you optionally specified when you created the discussion.

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 the endpoint.

Result: the code returned by the API

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