Workflow

Request: the code to send to the API

Send a DELETE request to the resource /sharing/messages/<sharing_message_token>.json to delete a previously shared message. Please note that this operation does not remove the message from the social networks.

To prevent you from unintentionally deleting a sharing message by mixing up the DELETE/GET methods you have to include the url parameter confirm_deletion=true in your DELETE requests. If you omit this parameter, the message will not be removed and an error will be thrown.

Result: the code returned by the API

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