API: Rest Delete Subscriber by Email + First Name

The Delete Contact commands allow you to permanently delete an existing Contact record and all subscriptions.  

DELETE /subscribers

https://[siteurl]/rest/subscribers

Request Body Parameters

The Delete Contact by Email + First name command requires the Contact Email and First name defined within the submitted JSON in order to delete. No additional fields are required in the JSON. Delete cannot be undone.    

Request Body Example

Using Delete Contact, line breaks in JSON for readability:

curl --request DELETE \ --url 'https://mail.mydomain.com/rest/subscribers/10' \ --header 'authorization: Basic bXlBY2NvdW50Onh5enB3ZDEyMw==' \ --header 'accept: application/vnd.whatcounts-v1+json' \ --data '{ "email": "myemail@mydomain.com", "firstName": "myName"}' \ --include

Response Body

The response returns an HTTP status code only with no additional JSON.  Based on the example above, the response returns:

HTTP/1.1 204 NO CONTENT Server: serverName Content-Type: application/json Content-Length: 6 Link: <https://mail.mydomain.com/rest/subscribers>; Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2016 12:54:44 GMT
{
}

Error Response

Error Response Codes include both Client Errors (4xx) and Server Errors (5xx).  Descriptions of each can be found in Response Codes. 

For example, if the List does not exist, the error would appear as:

{ "error": "Delete Failed: Unable to find resource to delete" "status": "Not Found" "statusCode": 404 }
