7.7. Delete a Domain

Description

Delete an existing domain.

Note

The API exits with an error message if there are applications within the domain to be deleted. Therefore, all applications must be deleted before deleting a domain. Setting the force parameter to true automatically deletes all applications under that domain and then deletes the domain.

Warning

Deleting a domain with the force parameter set to true deletes all applications created within that domain. This operation cannot be reversed.

JSON Response

If there are applications under the domain to be deleted, the API exits with an error message. 

{
    "api_version": 1.6,
    "data": null,
    "messages": [
        {
            "exit_code": 128,
            "field": null,
            "severity": "error",
            "text": "Domain contains applications. Delete applications first or set force to true."
        }
    ],
    "status": "unprocessable_entity",
    "supported_api_versions": [
      1.0,
      1.1,
      1.2,
      1.3,  
      1.4,
      1.5,
      1.6
  	],
	  "type": null,
	  "version": "1.6"
}

In this case, the user must delete all applications that exist under the domain or set the force parameter to true to automatically delete the applications as part of the domain delete process.
