# Close browser session

`DELETE /browser_sessions/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.telnyx.com/v2`

## Path parameters

## Response `200`

Session after close, or its unchanged terminal state.

## Other responses

- `401`: Unauthorized — missing or invalid API key.
- `404`: Session or artifact not found.
- `409`: Session is still provisioning. Poll its state before retrying the close.
- `503`: The request could not be completed reliably. Retrieve action and session state before retrying; a mutation may already have taken effect. Do not blindly repeat it with a new idempotency key or session.
