# Unhide a title

`DELETE /api/v2/title/{id}/hidden`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://www.onlyworlds.com`
- URL: `https://www.onlyworlds.com/api/v2/title/{id}/hidden`
- Auth: API key in header `API-Key` and API key in header `API-Pin`

The world's owner key, or a co-builder's (a person's or a seat's), with its PIN. Clears the mark; an element that is not hidden stays as it is. The element's body and its change_seq do not change. A hidden element is seen only by the world's owner, its co-builders and the member who created it. To every other key it is as if it did not exist: a GET of it is 404, lists, search and counts leave it out, links to it are left out of the elements that carry them (those elements do not change), and a write naming its id answers as a missing id does. A key the owner minted (no member) reads as the owner and sees hidden elements. On /changes, a hide gives each contributor who loses the element (person or seat, never the member who made it) one delete row with reason `hidden`, at the change_seq the hide took; a guest gets no row, and its feed resets (409 resync_required) if it saw the element. An unhide resets every contributor and guest that regains it. A hidden Character is null on the roster (GET /members, GET /me, the world's owner_character) and can never be the Character a seat or a player plays (422 character_hidden). The hidden mark answers only where the server has it switched on; elsewhere every hidden route is a 404.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required

## Response `204`

Not hidden.

## Other responses

- `401`: Missing, invalid or revoked credential, or a wrong PIN (authentication_error; code key_revoked for a revoked key, invalid_credentials otherwise).
- `403`: The credential is valid but lacks the scope: a read key on a write route (permission_error). Or the key is not the world's owner's or a co-builder's (permission_error).
- `404`: Not found in this world (not_found).
- `422`: Invalid request: unknown or read-only field, bad value, unknown query parameter, over-long text, extensions over the size cap (invalid_request); `param` names the culprit.
- `429`: Too many failed PIN attempts; see the Retry-After header (rate_limited). Or too many requests: over the request budget (code too_many_requests, type rate_limited): 300 requests a minute per key or account token, 60 a minute per address for a request with neither. Retry after the Retry-After header's seconds.
- `503`: The server is busy: every request slot stayed full for 10 s (code server_busy, type api_error). Retry after the Retry-After header's seconds.
