# Delete a subscriber list

`DELETE /api/v1/lists/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.sendly.now`
- URL: `https://api.sendly.now/api/v1/lists/{id}`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in cookie `better-auth.session_token`
  - OAuth 2 (authorization code, authorization URL `https://app.sendly.now/api/auth/oauth2/authorize`, token URL `https://app.sendly.now/api/auth/oauth2/token`, scopes: `lists:write`)

Delete the list and, by cascade, every membership on it. Those memberships are the consent record: an `UNSUBSCRIBED` row is the evidence that someone opted out, and it goes with the list — re-creating the list and re-importing the same addresses will not find their opt-outs waiting. The emails already sent are untouched.

Requires the `lists:write` scope — Create, rename, and delete your subscriber lists.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required: Resource id.

## Response `200`

List deleted

- ListV1Deleted: Acknowledgement that a list was deleted.
  - `deleted` true, required
  - `id` string, uuid, required

## Other responses

- `401`: `invalid_api_key` or `invalid_session` — missing or invalid credentials.
- `403`: `scope_missing`, `project_access_denied`, or `project_disabled`.
- `404`: `resource_not_found` — no list with this id belongs to the authenticated project.
- `422`: `validation_error` — query, path, or body parameters did not match the schema.
- `429`: `rate_limited` — see `Retry-After` and the `RateLimit` headers.
- `500`: `internal_error`.
