Delete domain
Delete a custom domain from your workspace.
Address the domain by its id or by its name. Names are unique per workspace, so
api.acme.com is enough.
Unkey stops serving the domain. Later requests fail with a certificate error. The DNS
records at your provider stay in place.
Required Permissions
Your root key must have one of the following permissions:
environment.*.delete_domain(to delete domains in any environment)environment.<environment_id>.delete_domain(to delete domains in a specific environment)

Request example
Response
post/v2/domains.deleteDomain
Authorization
Body
application/jsonIdentifies a domain by its Unkey ID or by its name. Pass a 'dom_'-prefixed ID, or a fully
qualified domain name such as 'api.acme.com' without a scheme, port, or path. You can give an
internationalized name in Unicode or Punycode form. Both forms address the same domain.
Domain names are unique per workspace, so the name alone addresses the domain. You do not
need to supply a project, app, or environment.

A human-readable explanation specific to this occurrence of the problem. This provides detailed information about what went wrong and potential remediation steps. The message is intended to be helpful for developers troubleshooting the issue.
HTTP status code that corresponds to this error. This will match the status code in the HTTP response. Common codes include
400 (Bad Request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden), 404 (Not Found), 409 (Conflict), and 500 (Internal Server Error).A short, human-readable summary of the problem type. This remains constant from occurrence to occurrence of the same problem and should be used for programmatic handling.
A URI reference that identifies the problem type. This provides a stable identifier for the error that can be used for documentation lookups and programmatic error handling. When followed, this URI should provide human-readable documentation for the problem type.
List of individual validation errors that occurred in the request. Each error provides specific details about what failed validation, where the error occurred in the request, and suggestions for fixing it. This granular information helps developers quickly identify and resolve multiple issues in a single request without having to make repeated API calls.

JSON path indicating exactly where in the request the error occurred. This helps pinpoint the problematic field or parameter. Examples include:
- 'body.name' (field in request body)
- 'body.items[3].tags' (nested array element)
- 'path.apiId' (path parameter)
- 'query.limit' (query parameter)
