# Delete

`DELETE /v1/m2m/clients/{client_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.stytch.com`
- URL: `https://api.stytch.com/v1/m2m/clients/{client_id}`
- Auth: HTTP basic

Deletes the M2M Client.

**Important:** Deleting an M2M Client will not invalidate any existing JWTs issued to the client, only prevent it from receiving new ones.
To protect more-sensitive routes, pass a lower `max_token_age` value when[authenticating the token](https://stytch.com/docs/b2b/api/authenticate-m2m-token)[authenticating the token](https://stytch.com/docs/api/authenticate-m2m-token).

## Path parameters

- `client_id` string, required: The ID of the client.

## Response `200`

Successful response

- ApiM2mV1M2mClientsDeleteResponse
  - `request_id` string, required: Globally unique UUID that is returned with every API call. This value is important to log for debugging purposes; we may ask for this value to help identify a specific API call when helping you debug an issue.
  - `client_id` string, required: The ID of the client.
  - `status_code` integer, required: The HTTP status code of the response. Stytch follows standard HTTP response status code patterns, e.g. 2XX values equate to success, 3XX values are redirects, 4XX are client errors, and 5XX are server errors.
