}Authorizations
Your Periskope API token, sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>. Generate one from the Periskope dashboard under Settings → API & Webhooks. API access requires an active Pro or Enterprise plan.
Headers
Optional. Phone to act with: country code + number without symbols or spaces (e.g. 911111111111), or a phone_id (phone-xxxxxxxxxxxx). Omit to let the API select an eligible phone automatically — within the token's phone scopes and connected; chat actions use a phone that has the chat (a group admin where required), message actions use the phone the message belongs to.
"919876543210"
Path Parameters
The message_id (true_... / false..._) of the message, or the unique_id returned when the message was sent via the API. The lookup is scoped to the phone in the x-phone header.
1"true_911111111111@c.us_AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
Response
The message was deleted
