# Delete webhook

`DELETE /webhooks/{webhook}`

Delete a webhook and its delivery log.

**Permission:** Cluster key, or a scoped key with write on every collection that the webhook covers.

[API key types and authentication](/engine/reference/authentication.md).

Successful deletion returns 204 with no body. Queued events are dropped, the log goes with the webhook, and the name is free at once. A POST already in flight finishes and is not recorded.

To stop deliveries and keep the log, update the webhook with enabled: false.

A namespace or collection delete never deletes a webhook.

## Example request

```http
DELETE /webhooks/acme-status HTTP/1.1
Host: engine.example.com
Authorization: Bearer <GRAPHON_ENGINE_API_KEY>
```

## Path parameters

### `webhook`

**string · required**

Webhook ID with the whk_ prefix, or the webhook’s name.

## Responses

### 204 · Webhook deleted

The webhook and its log are gone. This response has no body.

#### Response headers

##### `x-engine-request-id`

**string · required**

The Engine request ID. Retain it when investigating a failed or unexpected request.

##### `x-request-id`

**string · required**

The X-Request-Id you sent, echoed when it is a valid ID. Otherwise, the Engine request ID.

No response body.

## Errors

[Error format and retry guidance](/engine/reference/errors.md).

### 400 · `invalid_request`

A field, path, parameter, or conditional request rule is invalid.

Correct the request. Unknown fields are rejected.

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "invalid_request",
    "message": "A field, path, parameter, or conditional request rule is invalid.",
    "request_id": "req_example",
    "retryable": false,
    "details": {}
  }
}
```

### 401 · `unauthenticated`

The API key is missing, invalid, or revoked.

Send an active key in Authorization: Bearer or X-API-Key.

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "unauthenticated",
    "message": "The API key is missing, invalid, or revoked.",
    "request_id": "req_example",
    "retryable": false,
    "details": {}
  }
}
```

### 403 · `forbidden`

The key can see the resource but lacks permission for this operation.

Use a key with the required action or scope kind.

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "forbidden",
    "message": "The key can see the resource but lacks permission for this operation.",
    "request_id": "req_example",
    "retryable": false,
    "details": {}
  }
}
```

### 404 · `not_found`

The resource is absent, deleted, or outside this key’s scope.

Check the identifier and the key’s namespace and collection scope.

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "not_found",
    "message": "The resource is absent, deleted, or outside this key’s scope.",
    "request_id": "req_example",
    "retryable": false,
    "details": {}
  }
}
```

### 503 · `temporarily_unavailable`

A dependency, cluster readiness condition, or capacity limit prevents this operation.

Inspect retryable and details. Retry only when permitted, preserving the idempotency key for the same write.

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "temporarily_unavailable",
    "message": "A dependency, cluster readiness condition, or capacity limit prevents this operation.",
    "request_id": "req_example",
    "retryable": true,
    "details": {}
  }
}
```

### 500 · `internal_error`

An unexpected server failure prevented this request from completing.

Retain request_id for investigation. Follow retryable before retrying a write.

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "internal_error",
    "message": "An unexpected server failure prevented this request from completing.",
    "request_id": "req_example",
    "retryable": false,
    "details": {}
  }
}
```
