Delete User - DELETE

To delete a user, you need to make a DELETE request to the endpoint

DELETE https://api.palenca.com/v1/users/:user_id

This request deletes all the information available —accounts, profile, and earnings — belonging to a specific user.

Warning

After calling this endpoint, the user's information is deleted from our database. If you regret this decision, you must create a new user. Bear in mind you will get a new user_id.

JavaScript

const axios = require('axios')

const config = {
  method: 'delete',
  url: 'https://api.palenca.com/v1/users/:user_id',
  headers: {
    'x-api-key': 'private_api_key',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  }
};

(() => {
  try {
  const { data } = await axios(config)
  console.info(JSON.stringify(response.data))
  } catch (error) {
      console.error(error)
  }
})()

Python

import requests

url = 'https://api.palenca.com/v1/users/:user_id'

headers = {
  'x-api-key': 'private_api_key',
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

response = requests.request('DELETE', url, headers=headers)

curl

curl --location --request DELETE 'https://api.palenca.com/v1/users/:user_id' \
--header 'x-api-key: your_private_api_key'

Returns a JSON structured like this:

{
    "success": true,
    "error": null,
    "data": {
        "user_id": "b3a85798-fa4a-48dd-b624-0f0772d0052e",
        "external_id": null
    }
}
