# Delete source

> Delete a source by its id.

<Note>
  **Key type:** requires a private key. A public key returns `403` here, because it may only
  upload — see [key types and scope](/docs/api-reference/introduction#key-types-and-scope). Call
  this from your server, never from browser code.
</Note>

<RequestExample>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl --request DELETE \
    --url 'https://upload.autorender.io/api/v1/sources/974628c2-9b55-4ce4-adf1-9b63edff6baa' \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
  ```
</RequestExample>

<ResponseExample>
  ```json 204 theme={null}
  ```

  ```json 404 theme={null}
  {
    "error": "Source not found"
  }
  ```

  ```json 401 theme={null}
  {
    "success": false,
    "error": "Invalid API key.",
    "message": "The provided API key is invalid, inactive, or has been deleted"
  }
  ```
</ResponseExample>
