Account

Delete Account

Request permanent account deletion (GDPR Art. 17).

Re-authentication is required: accounts with a password send password; OAuth-only accounts confirm by typing their exact account email as confirm_email. On success the account enters a grace period (7 days by default) and purge_after marks its end — after that instant a background sweep permanently erases the account, its links, and their analytics.

During the grace period every login is blocked with error code ACCOUNT_PENDING_DELETION; POST /auth/restore cancels the deletion and reactivates the account — with email + password, or with the one-shot link mailed on this request (the OAuth-only path).

Authentication: Required (JWT only — API keys and app tokens cannot delete the account)

Rate Limits: 3/hour

Errors: 403 when re-authentication fails (never says which field was wrong), 409 when deletion is already pending.

Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

API key authentication. Pass your key as: Bearer spoo_<your_key>

Body

application/json

Request body for DELETE /api/v1/me.

Exactly one re-auth proof applies per account: password for accounts with a password set, confirm_email (the exact account email, typed) for OAuth-only accounts. The wrong proof — or a missing one — fails re-authentication; the response never says which.

password

string | null

Account password — re-auth for accounts with a password set

Maximum string length: 255

Example:

"MySecurePass123!"

confirm_email

string | null

The exact account email, typed to confirm — re-auth for OAuth-only accounts (no password set)

Maximum string length: 320

Example:

"user@example.com"

Response

Successful Response

Deletion accepted — the account is now pending erasure.

purge_after

string

required

When the grace period ends and the erasure sweep may pick the account up. Restoring before this instant cancels the deletion.

Example:

"2026-08-26T00:00:00+00:00"
