# Disconnect (or permanently delete) a social account

`DELETE /v0/social-accounts/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.schedulin.app`
- URL: `https://api.schedulin.app/v0/social-accounts/{id}`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `x-api-key`
  - OAuth 2 (authorization code, authorization URL `https://api.schedulin.app/oauth/authorize`, token URL `https://api.schedulin.app/oauth/token`, scopes: `social-accounts:write`)

Disconnect a social account. By default this is a soft disconnect: the stored credentials are wiped, the account stops counting toward your plan's account limit, and it stays in `GET /v0/social-accounts` with `status: "disconnected"` and `disconnectedReason: "TOKEN_REVOKED"` until it is reconnected from the dashboard. All of its posts, analytics, and history are kept; scheduled posts that come due while it is disconnected fail with a "reconnect" error instead of publishing. Pass `permanent=true` to delete the account instead — this **permanently deletes every post** (scheduled, draft, and published history) of the account and cannot be undone.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Query parameters

- `permanent` boolean: Delete the account instead of disconnecting it. PERMANENTLY deletes every post (scheduled, draft, and published history) of the account. Default false.

## Request body

- object

## Response `200`

OK

- object
  - `success` boolean, required

## Other responses

- `400`: Bad Request — the request isn't allowed in the resource's current state (e.g. editing a published post).
- `401`: Unauthorized — missing or invalid API key / access token.
- `403`: Forbidden — the credential lacks the required scope or access.
- `404`: Not Found
- `409`: Conflict
- `422`: Unprocessable request. Schema validation failures have `code: "INPUT_VALIDATION_FAILED"` and `data.fieldErrors` mapping each invalid field to its messages (nested issues name their full path, e.g. `media[0].url: ...`). Business-rule rejections (e.g. a `scheduledAt` in the past) have `code: "UNPROCESSABLE_CONTENT"` and carry the reason in `data.message` and `data.formErrors`.
- `429`: Rate limit exceeded. Wait `Retry-After` seconds before retrying.
- `500`: Internal Server Error
