delete_contact

Delete a contact permanently. Posts attached to the contact remain, but their contact_id is set to null — the post survives, the attribution does not. Use sparingly; consider clearing traits with update_contact instead if you just want to anonymise.

required scope: read:write.

  • “delete contact ctc_01H8… — they requested GDPR removal.”
  • “remove this contact; they were created in error.”

{ "contact_id": "ctc_01H8..." }

  • Returns 204 (no content) on success; the deleted row is not returned.
  • Attached posts keep their text and votes; only the contact_id link is cleared.

No body.
