DELETE /api/apis/{APIID}
Deletes the specified API, including all API versions.
Note: This functionality is not available in the user interface. To protect the user against accidentally deleting the API rather than an API version, the UI only allows deletion of an API version. Deleting the last version deletes the API. Only by using the platform API can you delete an API and all versions in one operation.
Authorization Roles/Permissions: Must be logged in. API Admin or Business Admin.
