Remove a server

DELETE
/hosts/{id}
curl --request DELETE \
--url https://dev.tunnelhq.com/api/v1/hosts/hst_7 \
--header 'X-API-Key: <X-API-Key>' \
--header 'X-Project-Id: prj_12'

Removes the server from TunnelHQ. Its agent is cut off at its next report and it leaves the list. The agent stays installed on the machine until you run the uninstall_command from Get a server.

It needs a role that can delete monitors. An AI assistant’s connection can’t call it; use an API key.

Need an API key? See Getting an API key.

A usage limit was reached, or this IP address made too many requests with a wrong key.

Usage limits are per workspace and plan: per minute (Retry-After: 60), per day (Retry-After: 3600), and per month (no Retry-After). They use their own body shape. An IP address may send 10 wrong keys a minute; one more is allowed every 6 seconds. While that allowance is used up, every request from the address is refused, even one with a valid key.
