Packages

Delete a package

Since 7.1.0
DELETE/packages/{packageId}

Delete a package and everything attached to it. Needs confirm, and force while servers still reference it.

Request

Authorization
Provide your bearer token in the Authorization header when making requests to protected resources.
Example: Authorization: Bearer ********************
Path Params#
packageIdinteger#required

A valid package ID as shown in VirtFusion.

Example: 7
Body Paramsapplication/json#

The confirmation.

object
confirmboolean#required

Must be true.

forceboolean#

Delete even though servers still reference the package. Those servers keep working; their package link points at nothing afterwards.

Default: false
Example
{
    "confirm": true
}

#
application/json

Too many requests. Either the token's requests per minute are used up (see the X-RateLimit-* headers) or the calling address has failed authentication 10 times in a minute (the body then includes retry_after_seconds). Retry-After gives the seconds to wait.

object
errorsarray[string]#
retry_after_secondsinteger#

Seconds to wait before retrying. Present on the failed-authentication limit only.

Response headers
Retry-Afterinteger

Seconds to wait before retrying.

X-RateLimit-Limitinteger

The token's requests per minute (token limit only).

X-RateLimit-Remaininginteger

Requests left in the current minute (token limit only).

X-RateLimit-Resetinteger

Unix timestamp at which the minute resets (token limit only).
