# Delete an introducing broker variable

`DELETE /api-regulated/v1/introducing-brokers/{id}/variables/{name}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.currencyguard.com`
- URL: `https://api.currencyguard.com/api-regulated/v1/introducing-brokers/{id}/variables/{name}`
- Auth: OAuth 2 (implicit, authorization URL `https://auth.currencyguard.com/oauth2/authorize`, scopes: `regulated.parties.canModifyIntroducingBroker`)

Removes one variable by name. A name that is not set is a 404 rather than a silent success, so a misspelled name cannot be mistaken for a credential successfully revoked.

**Required entitlement:** `regulated.parties.canModifyIntroducingBroker`  
_Entitles the regulated user to create and update introducing broker records within their regulated entity_

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required
- `name` string, required

## Response `200`

Variable removed; returns the remaining variable list

- EntityVariableDTO[]
  - `name` string: The variable name.
  - `value` string: The value. Returned for secret variables too — this endpoint is the one place a credential is served, and clients are expected to obscure it until the user reveals it.
  - `secret` boolean: Whether this variable is a credential and must be obscured on screen until revealed. True for any name ending in _PASSWORD, _SECRET, _TOKEN or _KEY.
