Delete an inbox

DELETE

/v1/inboxes/{id}

const url = 'https://api.facteur.eu/v1/inboxes/example';
const options = {method: 'DELETE', headers: {Authorization: 'Bearer <token>'}};

try {
  const response = await fetch(url, options);
  const data = await response.json();
  console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error);
}

curl --request DELETE \
  --url https://api.facteur.eu/v1/inboxes/example \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

Messages, attachments and extractors go with it. Usage records do not: they are the append-only account of what was consumed, and deleting an inbox is not a way to erase a month of usage.

Parameters

Path Parameters

required

string

The inbox identifier — the same string that prefixes its receiving address.

Responses

204

Deleted.

401

No usable credential. UNAUTHENTICATED when none was presented, KEY_UNKNOWN, KEY_REVOKED or KEY_EXPIRED when a key was — kept distinct on purpose, because “mint a new one” and “somebody took this away from you” are different facts to whoever is reading a red pipeline.

Every failure has this shape. Branch on error.code; error.message is written for a human and is in French today.

403

SCOPE_INSUFFICIENT (the message names the scope this request wanted and the ones the key holds), KEY_CANNOT_REACH (no scope opens this route to a key at all), FORBIDDEN, or one of the stated refusals listed under x-api-key-refusals.

INBOX_NOT_FOUND. An inbox in a workspace the key does not reach answers the same way as one that does not exist — telling the two apart would let anyone map a colleague’s workspaces one request at a time.
