Delete a collection

Deletes a collection and every record in it, for good. Their pages leave the live site at once; Collection sections showing it go empty.

DELETE/api/v1/sites/{site_id}/collections/{collection_id}

Authentication

An API key as Authorization: Bearer or x-api-key. It needs the collections:write scope — make collections and add, change and delete records (live at once).

collections:writeDeletesIdempotency-Key optionalMCP tool: delete_collection

Parameters

Named placeholders go in the path; the rest in the query string.

site_idstringPath · required: The site's id.1 to 100 characters
collection_idstringPath · required: The collection's id.1 to 100 characters

Response

200 with JSON on success (schema on the right). Errors use the standard envelope; a retry with the same Idempotency-Key gets the first answer back (how retries work).
