# Delete a check (REST)

`DELETE /checks/{checkId}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://codequiry.com/api/v1`
- URL: `https://codequiry.com/api/v1/checks/{checkId}`
- Auth: API key in header `apikey`

## Path parameters

- `checkId` integer, required

## Response `200`

Deleted

- DeleteResult
  - `success` boolean
  - `message` string
  - `check_id` integer
  - `check_name` string

## Other responses

- `401`: Missing or invalid API key. The API key is checked before any endpoint logic runs, so this is returned for every operation.
- `402`: The account is suspended for an unpaid invoice. Every endpoint returns this until the invoice is paid from the billing dashboard; it is not retryable and the request was not performed.
- `403`: Not permitted (e.g. free-trial limitation, or a read-only demo check).
- `404`: Resource not found or not owned by this account.
- `409`: Check is in a state that does not allow this operation (e.g. still processing, or not yet completed).
- `429`: Rate limit exceeded: more than 60 requests in one minute from this IP. Retry after the number of seconds in the Retry-After header. Successful responses carry X-RateLimit-Limit and X-RateLimit-Remaining too, so you can pace a client without waiting to be refused.
