Delete Watchlist

Delete an existing watchlist

Overview

This DELETE endpoint enables you to delete a specific watchlist of the user whose id is provided in the request's path.

There are five required parameters that must be provided in the request:

1. Et-App-Key (header). This is the unique key of your app that identifies your app when communicating with our service. Contact your administrator to get this key.

2. Authorization (header). This is the authorization token from the very first token request. The value of this header must have the following format: Bearer BQ898r9fefi (Bearer + 1 space + the token).

3. API version (path). Unless necessary, leave it at "1.0".

4. userID (path). This is the ID of the user whose particular watchlist needs to be deleted.

5. watchlistID (path). This is the internal identifier of the watchlist that needs to be deleted.

Here's the final template for this API request:

DELETE apiURL/v1.0/users/{userID}/watchlists/{watchlistID}
