Stops deliveries. Events still waiting for a retry are dropped. Poll [GET /api/external/orders](https://www.dropfans.io/developers/reference/list-orders.md) meanwhile.

## Authentication

`Authorization: Bearer dpfn_...` — an API key generated in the creator's dashboard (Vault → API Connect). One key = one creator. Missing or invalid keys return 401 `{"error":"Unauthorized","code":"unauthorized"}`.

## Responses

### 200

Removed.

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `deleted` | boolean | yes | Always true. |

```json
{
  "deleted": true
}
```

## Errors

| Status | Body | When |
|---|---|---|
| 401 | `{"error":"Unauthorized","code":"unauthorized"}` | Missing or invalid API key. |
| 403 | `{"error":"This endpoint needs a key bound to an approved app.","code":"app_key_required"}` | A Personal key was used. |
| 403 | `{"error":"Use the app owner's key for this endpoint.","code":"owner_key_required"}` | The key was minted by a creator for themselves. App-level calls need a key held by your app owner: their own, or one their agency minted for its personas or managed creators. |

## Rate limiting

Per-key fixed windows by tier (Personal 60/min · 5,000/day; approved apps 300/min · 50,000/day; Dropfans-operated integrations exempt). Read the live values from X-RateLimit-Tier, X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset and their -Day variants; a 429 carries Retry-After and `{"error":"Rate limit exceeded","code":"rate_limited"}`. See [Rate limits](https://www.dropfans.io/developers/concepts/rate-limits.md).

## Code samples

### curl

```bash
curl -X DELETE "https://www.dropfans.io/api/external/webhooks" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DROPFANS_API_KEY"
```

### Node

```javascript
const res = await fetch(`https://www.dropfans.io/api/external/webhooks`, {
  method: 'DELETE',
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.DROPFANS_API_KEY}`,
  },
});
console.log(await res.json());
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

res = requests.delete(
    "https://www.dropfans.io/api/external/webhooks",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['DROPFANS_API_KEY']}"},
)
print(res.json())
```
