Delete a database from a site.

All hosting endpoints

Authentication

Send an API key as a bearer token. The key must carry the sites.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/sites/{siteId}/databases/{databaseId} \
  -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

Drops the database and its user. **The data is gone** — this platform holds no copy of it, so the client must confirm the name back to the customer before calling, the way a destructive action is confirmed everywhere else. Scoped to the organisation **and** the site, so a database id belonging to another of the caller's own sites does not resolve here either. `404` for a site with no vendor hosting package, and for an id that is not on it. Requires `sites.manage`.

Parameters

NameTypeRequiredWhat it is
siteId (path)UuidYesSite ID (UUIDv7).
databaseId (path)stringYesThe database id returned by `listSiteDatabases`.
