Destroying an account

When you run the destroy endpoint on an account, destruction happens immediately. This differs from running the destroy endpoint on a contact, where the actual destruction of data doesn’t happen until a scheduled batch process has run.

Use the following endpoint to destroy an account:

• POST /account/v1/accounts/{accountId}/destroy

This example immediately removes account pc:987 from the database:

Command

POST /account/v1/accounts/pc:987/destroy

The request contains only the ID of the requester. The requester ID does not have to match the ID of a user in PolicyCenter.

Request

{
    "data": {
        "attributes": {
            "requesterId": "5678"
        }
    }
}
