DELETE /v1/domains/{domainId}/disconnect

Authentication

Send an API key as a bearer token. The key must carry the domains.dns.manage permission; a key without it is refused with 403, not 404.

This endpoint takes no organisation id. Your key already identifies the organisation it belongs to, and the response is scoped to it.

Try it

Replace anything in angle brackets with your own values, and the key placeholder with a key from your dashboard.

curl -X DELETE https://api.zinndigital.com/v1/domains/{domainId}/disconnect \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer zdk_live_…"

Signed in? The API console in your dashboard fills in your real organisation id and your own key, and runs the request against the live API so you can see the actual response. Open this endpoint in the API console

Details

The other half of `connectDomain`, and not optional: a create with no delete is how an estate fills with dead zones — config nobody serves, still counting against a provider's zone cap and indistinguishable from live config later. Removes the zone at the DNS provider, releases the provider-account placement so the pool stops counting it, then deletes the row and emits `domain.deleted`. **The zone goes first**: if the provider call fails this is a `503` and nothing is changed, because deleting the row first would strand the zone with nothing left pointing at it. A zone already absent at the provider is a success, not an error — otherwise a row could exist that nobody can ever remove. ⛔ Only a **connected** domain. One registered with us is held at a registrar with a renewal cycle attached, so removing it here would orphan the registration rather than end it — that is the transfer-out/expiry lifecycle. Attempting it is a `409`. Requires `domains.dns.manage`.
