Delete Question

DELETE /v1/nextexams/questions/{id}

Delete a question

A question an exam still uses is refused with 409 QUESTION_IN_USE, naming the exams in meta. One that only past attempts reference is retired instead of deleted, so those attempts keep their record. Scope questions:delete; the role needs questions.delete.

Request

DELETE https://your-site.example/api/index.php/v1/nextexams/questions/{id}

Parameters

Name	Type	In	Required	Description
`id`	`integer`	`path`	Yes	The record's id. (min 1)

Responses

`204` — Deleted or retired.

Errors

Status	Code	When
`401`	`INVALID_TOKEN`	No token (`MISSING_TOKEN`), or one that is wrong, expired, revoked, or whose owner can no longer sign in (`INVALID_TOKEN`).
`403`	`MISSING_SCOPE`	The token is valid but this request is not allowed, and `code` says why: `MISSING_SCOPE` (the token lacks the scope), `FORBIDDEN` (the owner's role does not allow it), `ACCESS_DENIED` (the owner cannot manage Next Exams), `API_DISABLED` (the API Tokens app is off), `APP_DISABLED` (the feature's app is off — `meta.app` names it), `ACCOUNT_UNUSABLE` (the owner is blocked or must reset their password), `DEMO_LOCKED` (a demo site).
`404`	`NOT_FOUND`	No record has this id.
`409`		The save or delete would break something that depends on the record: `QUESTION_IN_USE`, `ANSWERED_NEEDS_VERSION`, `TYPE_LOCKED`, `STALE`. `meta` carries the details (for example the exams that use a question).
