# Delete webhook

Delete a webhook subscription and stop further deliveries to its endpoint.

POST https://api.brigg.app/v1/operations/webhooks.DeleteWebhook

## Access & visibility

Allow `webhooks.DeleteWebhook` on your API key.

**Workspace access by default.** Private member data requires [approved member delegation](https://developer.brigg.app/authentication#member-delegation) through `Brigg-Act-As`; the key supplies permissions while private ownership and project boundaries remain enforced.

[Set up authentication](https://developer.brigg.app/authentication) · [Choose permissions](https://developer.brigg.app/permissions)

## Request fields

Send a JSON object with the following fields. Required fields must be included; omit optional fields you do not need.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | string | Yes | Use the subscription id returned by ListWebhooks. It is not an event ID, delivery ID or signing secret. [webhooks.ListWebhooks](https://developer.brigg.app/reference/webhooks/ListWebhooks). At least 1 character. |

## Stop a subscription

Find the subscription in [List webhooks](https://developer.brigg.app/reference/webhooks/ListWebhooks) and send its id. This removes the subscription; it does not undo changes already delivered to your endpoint. Pending delivery work checks whether the subscription still exists and skips deleted subscriptions. A request already in flight can still reach your endpoint.

Deletion has no public undo operation. If you need the stream again, prepare a new subscription and obtain administrator approval. A fresh delete of an absent subscription returns 404 not_found; retrying a successful original request with the same idempotency key replays its original result. The deleted subscription is no longer available for event recovery or replay.

## Response

Returns **200 OK** with a JSON body.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `ok` | boolean | Yes | Whether the action completed successfully. |

## Errors & retries

Set `BRIGG_REQUEST_ID` once for each logical action. The samples send it as `Idempotency-Key`. Reuse the same value and body on retries, including after a timeout; a missing response does not prove the action failed.

For rate limits, follow the server’s retry guidance and back off. See [HTTP errors](https://developer.brigg.app/http#errors) and [safe retries and limits](https://developer.brigg.app/reliability).

| HTTP status | Code | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_json` | Send a JSON object with Content-Type: application/json. |
| 400 | `invalid_input` | Check the request fields and types. Supply a stable Idempotency-Key containing 1–200 characters. |
| 401 | `invalid_key` | The workspace API key is missing, invalid or revoked. |
| 403 | `forbidden` | Check the key’s operation and resource grants. If Brigg-Act-As is supplied, the key must be authorized to delegate to that member. |
| 404 | `not_found` | The requested operation or resource is not available to this credential. |
| 429 | `rate_limited` | Wait for Retry-After before retrying. Reuse the original Idempotency-Key. |

## Examples

### Stop a subscription

Copy id from the subscription catalogue, not an event or delivery.
#### cURL


```sh
curl 'https://api.brigg.app/v1/operations/webhooks.DeleteWebhook' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BRIGG_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $BRIGG_REQUEST_ID" \
  --data-raw '{
  "id": "wh_company_changes"
}'
```

#### TypeScript


```typescript
const requestId = process.env.BRIGG_REQUEST_ID;
if (!requestId) throw new Error("Set BRIGG_REQUEST_ID once per action and reuse it on retries.");

const response = await fetch("https://api.brigg.app/v1/operations/webhooks.DeleteWebhook", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.BRIGG_API_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": requestId, // Create once per action; reuse on retries.
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "id": "wh_company_changes"
  }),
});
const result = await response.json();
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`${response.status}: ${result.error} — ${result.message}`);
console.log(result);
```

#### Python


```python
import json
import os
from urllib.request import Request, urlopen
from urllib.error import HTTPError

request_id = os.environ["BRIGG_REQUEST_ID"]  # Reuse for retries of this action.
payload = {
  "id": "wh_company_changes"
}
request = Request(
    "https://api.brigg.app/v1/operations/webhooks.DeleteWebhook",
    data=json.dumps(payload).encode("utf-8"),
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['BRIGG_API_KEY']}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Idempotency-Key": request_id,  # Create once per action; reuse on retries.
    },
    method="POST",
)
try:
    with urlopen(request) as response:
        print(json.load(response))
except HTTPError as error:
    print(error.code, json.load(error))
    raise
```

#### Response example


```json
{
  "ok": true
}
```
