Delete a previous revision of a snippet

DELETE
/snippets/{workspace}/{encoded_id}/{node_id}

Deletes the snippet.

Note that this only works for versioned URLs that point to the latest commit of the snippet. Pointing to an older commit results in a 405 status code.

To delete a snippet, regardless of whether or not concurrent changes are being made to it, use DELETE /snippets/{encoded_id} instead.

encoded_id
required
string

The snippet id.

node_id
required
string

A commit revision (SHA1).

workspace
required
string

This can either be the workspace ID (slug) or the workspace UUID surrounded by curly-braces, for example: {workspace UUID}.

If the snippet was deleted successfully.
