Deleting Resources¶

Deleting an existing JSON API Resource is done by calling the delete action of your API with:

• the HTTP DELETE request type
• an Accept header set to application/vnd.api+json
• a Content-Type header set to application/vnd.api+json
• request data in valid JSON API document format
• request data containing the id of the resource to delete

A successful request will return HTTP response code 204 (No Content) and empty response body. Failed requests will return HTTP response code 400 with empty response body.

An valid JSON API document structure for deleting a Country with id 10 would look similar to:

{
  "data": {
    "type": "countries",
    "id": "10"
    }
  }
}
