Delete a data room

https://www.helprange.com/api/v2/data-rooms/{data_room_id}/delete

Like "Delete data room" in the panel: guests lose access at once and the room's links stop working; the documents stay in their folders. Cannot be undone, so the body must carry "confirm": true – without it the answer is 400 {"error": "confirmation_required", "message"} and nothing is deleted.

Plans: Pro, Max, Unlimited, Deal Room Pass, trial. Auth: Authorization: Bearer hr_live_… (team key), X-API-Key, Authorization: Api-Key <key> or an OAuth Bearer token. Scope: rooms:write. Operation id: deleteDataRoom

Parameters

Responses

StatusDescription
200OK
400confirm: true is missing – nothing was deleted.
401Missing or invalid API key / OAuth token. Team keys: code invalid_key, key_revoked, key_expired or key_owner_removed.
402Your plan does not include the REST API (the Free plan) or this feature (e.g. NDA needs Max).
403The team API key lacks the scope this endpoint needs.
404Not found – or not yours (the API never says which).
405Wrong HTTP method for this endpoint.
409The data room is frozen, the signed PDF is not ready yet, (webhooks) the team already has an endpoint / the endpoint is turned off, or (code idempotency_key_in_progress) a request with the same Idempotency-Key is still running – retry in a few seconds.
422code idempotency_key_reused: this Idempotency-Key was already used in the last 24 hours with a different request (method, path or body). Use a new key for a new request.
429A usage limit was reached – wait Retry-After seconds.

Uses your real account. The request goes from your browser straight to www.helprange.com with your API key and acts as you – this POST changes data. The key stays in this page (in this tab's session storage only if you tick the box), is never put in a URL and is not sent to analytics. Do not paste a key on a shared computer.
