# Delete the programme

`DELETE /v1/projects/{project}/referral-program`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.subscriby.net`
- URL: `https://api.subscriby.net/v1/projects/{project}/referral-program`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Removes the programme. Answers `204` with no body.

> **A delete can be refused.** While any affiliate is owed a commission, the delete answers `422` and asks you to record their payouts or switch the programme off instead. Deleting emits no event.

## Path parameters

- `project` string, uuid, required

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string, uuid, required

## Response `204`

No content

## Other responses

- `400`: `IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_MISSING`: every write needs an `Idempotency-Key` header. Send a fresh UUID per distinct operation.
- `401`: `AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED`: the request carries no bearer token, or one that is revoked, malformed, or minted for another environment (an `sbt_test_` token on production).
- `403`: `TOKEN_MISSING_ABILITY`: the token is valid but does not carry the ability this endpoint requires; `error.context.required_ability` names the one to grant. An endpoint that also checks who owns a row or which tier the account is on answers `FORBIDDEN`, `TEAM_TIER_REQUIRED` or `CONNECTOR_TIER_REQUIRED` with the same status, and says so in its own description.
- `404`: `RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND`: an id in the path names nothing the token can see. `TENANT_MISMATCH`: the project sits outside the token's `scope:project:` allow-list, or the token carries no team scope. Both answer 404 rather than 403 so that existence outside the token's scope cannot be inferred. On this endpoint: `RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND`: while the project has no programme.
- `409`: `IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED`: the key was already used in the last 24 hours with a different request body.
- `422`: `VALIDATION_FAILED`: while affiliates are still owed commissions.
- `425`: `IDEMPOTENCY_REPLAY_IN_PROGRESS`: the first request with this key is still running; retry in a few seconds and the original response is replayed.
- `429`: `RATE_LIMITED`: the token has spent its 300 requests a minute or 10,000 an hour; `Retry-After` says when the next one is accepted.
