# Delete an endpoint

> Delete a Frontier Gateway endpoint and stop routing its slug.

Delete an endpoint. The call tears down the endpoint and its targets and stops routing its slug. The slug is freed for reuse: you can `POST /v1/gateway/endpoints` again with the same value to provision a fresh endpoint.

### Authentication

<ParamField header="Authorization" type="string" required>
  Workspace API key with management scope, passed as `Authorization: Api-Key $BASETEN_API_KEY` (or `Bearer`; both are accepted).
</ParamField>

### Path parameters

<ParamField path="endpoint_id" type="string" required>
  Identifier of the endpoint to delete, returned as `id` by [Create an endpoint](/reference/gateway/endpoints/create-an-endpoint).
</ParamField>

### Response

<ResponseField name="id" type="string" required>
  Identifier of the deleted endpoint.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="slug" type="string" required>
  Slug of the deleted endpoint.
</ResponseField>
