# Remove Cover

`DELETE /api/admin/news/{post_id}/cover`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.getcheapgames.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.getcheapgames.com/api/admin/news/{post_id}/cover`
- Auth: none declared

The upload removed: the post falls back to its video's still (fetched now)
or its first game's cover. Without an upload this only retries the still.

## Path parameters

- `post_id` integer, required

## Headers
