# Delete a monitor

Stops a monitor for good and answers it with `status` `deleted`. Its mentions, which were paid for, stay readable with GET /mentions until `mentions_readable_until` (30 days). Then the monitor and its mentions are removed. A second DELETE gives the same answer.

## Authentication

Send `Authorization: Bearer gtk_…`. Create the key under **Connect assistant → API keys**. A missing, invalid or revoked key is **401**. A valid key while this API is not enabled for your organization answers **403** `api_not_enabled`, with what the key can do instead. Every response includes `mySDR-Api-Version`, `mySDR-Request-Id` and `Cache-Control: no-store`, and a response to an accepted key also `X-RateLimit-*` (so not a 401, a 405, an OPTIONS or a 404 for an unknown path).

### Path parameters

- **`monitor_id`** `string` · **required** — The monitor.

## Response

- **`id`** `string` · **required** — Monitor id, `mon_…`.
- **`object`** `string` · **required** — Always `monitor`. One of: `monitor`.
- **`name`** `string` · **required** — The name you gave it.
- **`status`** `string` · **required** — `active`, `paused`, or `deleted` after DELETE. One of: `active`, `paused`, `deleted`.
- **`schedule`** `string` · **required** — `daily`. `hourly` is not available yet. One of: `daily`, `hourly`.
- **`keywords`** `object[]` · **required** — Each keyword with all its settings, `exact_match` and `case_sensitive` included, and `paused`.
- **`min_relevance`** `string` · **required** — `high`, `medium` or `low`. One of: `high`, `medium`, `low`.
- **`max_credits_per_day`** `integer | null` — Daily cap, or null for none.
- **`credits_today`** `integer` · **required** — Credits this monitor spent today (Europe/Brussels calendar day).
- **`credits_charged`** `integer` · **required** — Credits charged so far.
- **`next_run_at`** `string | null` · **required** — When the next run starts; null while the monitor is paused or deleted.
- **`last_run`** `object | null` · **required** — What the last run did: `at`, `mentions_delivered`, `credits_charged` and `stopped_by`. `stopped_by` is null when the run read everything it found, or `max_credits_per_day` (the monitor’s cap), `daily_limit` (the organization’s daily limit), `balance` (the wallet), or `paused` or `deleted` (the monitor was paused or deleted during the run, which stops the charging). A run that a cap or the balance stopped before it read anything shows 0 mentions with that reason. Null before the first run.
- **`deleted_at`** `string | null` · **required** — When DELETE stopped the monitor.
- **`mentions_readable_until`** `string | null` · **required** — For a deleted monitor: until when it and its mentions stay readable (30 days after DELETE).

## Credits

Free.

## Errors

- **404** `not_found` — No monitor with this id exists for your organization.
- **401** `authentication_error` — The Authorization header is missing, or the key is unknown or revoked.
- **403** `permission_error` — API access is not part of your plan, or your account is suspended.
- **403** `api_not_enabled` — The key is valid, but the Signals API or the Company API is not enabled for your organization yet. The error says what this key can do.
- **429** `rate_limit_error` — More than 60 requests per minute, or more than 3 at the same time, on one key. Wait for the Retry-After header.
- **500** `internal_error` — Something went wrong on our side.
