Delete compute endpoint

API Reference / Endpoints / Delete compute endpoint

DELETE /projects//endpoints/

Deletes the specified compute endpoint. A compute endpoint is a Neon compute instance. Deleting a compute endpoint drops existing network connections to the compute endpoint. The deletion is completed when the last operation in the chain finishes successfully.

An endpoint_id has an ep- prefix. For information about compute endpoints, see Manage computes.

Parameters

project_id (string, path, required) The Neon project ID
endpoint_id (string, path, required) The endpoint ID

Response (200)

Errors

default General Error.

The request may or may not be safe to retry, depending on the HTTP method, response status code, and whether a response was received.

If no response is returned from the API, a network error or timeout likely occurred.
In some cases, the request may have reached the server and been successfully processed, but the response failed to reach the client. As a result, retrying non-idempotent requests can lead to unintended results.

The following HTTP methods are considered non-idempotent: POST, PATCH, DELETE, and PUT. Retrying these methods is generally not safe. The following methods are considered idempotent: GET, HEAD, and OPTIONS. Retrying these methods is safe in the event of a network error or timeout.

Any request that returns a 503 Service Unavailable response is always safe to retry.

Any request that returns a 423 Locked response is safe to retry. 423 Locked indicates that the resource is temporarily locked, for example, due to another operation in progress.

request_id (string, optional) Unique identifier for the request, useful for debugging. You can set this value manually by including an X-Request-ID header in the request. If not provided, the value will be generated automatically.
code (string, required) Machine-readable code classifying the error type. See message for a human-readable explanation. Default: ``
message (string, required) Error message
