Workflow

Request: the code to send to the API

Send an API request to this endpoint in order to delete a vote:

DELETE /loudvoice/votes/comments/<comment_token>/authors/<author_token>.json

The <comment_token> and <author_token> must be replaced by the unique identifiers of the comment that has been voted for and the author who casted the vote. The following URL arguments are supported by this endpoint.

URL argument Description
* confirm_deletion
boolean
To prevent you from unintentionally deleting an entry by mixing up the DELETE/GET methods you have to mandatory include this parameter and set it's value to true.
do_update_counters
boolean
Per default removing a vote will automatically update the internal vote counters of the comment. Set this parameter to false to skip the update of the counters.
Default: true

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.
