Delete a token using the InfluxDB API

Use the /api/v2/authorizations InfluxDB API endpoint to delete a token.

Include the following in your request:

• Headers:
  • Authorization: Token API_TOKEN (API token with the write: authorizations permission)
  • Content-type: application/json
• Path parameters:
  • authID: Authorization ID to delete

{{% code-placeholders "API_TOKEN" %}}

# Delete the first authorization listed for the user.
curl --request GET \
  https://{{< influxdb/host >}}/api/v2/authorizations?user=user2 \
  --header "Authorization: Token API_TOKEN" \
  --header 'Content-type: application/json' \
