Delete auth credential

delete/v1/authcredentials/{id}
Page View

Credential endpoints allow you to manage custom authentication strategies for your organization's destinations. Destinations are the endpoints in your system that receive data from Redox.

You may choose custom authentication for your destinations if you want more secure authentication credentials for any data coming into your system.

With this set of Platform API endpoints, you can:

  • retrieve a list of existing auth credentials for an environment;
  • retrieve one auth credential by its ID;
  • retrieve a list of supported auth strategies;
  • create a new auth credential;
  • update an existing auth credential; or
  • delete an existing auth credential.

Delete auth credential

Delete an existing auth credential if it's not being used. The request only requires the auth credential ID.

The response contains an OK acknowledgement if the delete is successful. If the delete isn't successful, the auth credential is likely in use. Any auth credentials that are in use can't be deleted.

We include the version data in each response so that you have the option to handle the signaled differences.
