# Remove a suppression

`DELETE /suppressions/{email}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.poststack.dev`
- URL: `https://api.poststack.dev/suppressions/{email}`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - OAuth 2
    - Authorization code: `https://poststack.dev/oauth/authorize`
    - Token URL: `https://poststack.dev/oauth/token`
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/poststack/apis/poststack-api/docs/suppressions/:email/delete.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Succeeds whether or not the address was suppressed. Needs `contacts:manage`: re-opening an address that bounced, complained or unsubscribed is audience management, so a `sending_access` key cannot do it.

## Path parameters

- `email` string, required

## Response `200`

Removed.

- Success
  - `success` true, required

## Other responses

- `400`: Validation failed — `error` names each offending field (`field: message`).
- `401`: Missing, malformed or unknown credentials (`WWW-Authenticate: Bearer …` is set).
- `403`: The credential lacks the `contacts:manage` scope (body `{ error: "insufficient_scope", required, missing }`), or the team is suspended.
- `429`: Rate limited (30/min). `Retry-After` gives the seconds to wait; `X-RateLimit-*` headers are sent on every response.
