📘

Please, replace link_idString and ISO country code, ISO region code with appropriate values.

You need to specify country ISO code and country region code in ISO-3166-2 format. Example: US (country) - United States; NY (region) - New York. You can find a necessary ISO code here: http://www.geonames.org

import requests

url = "https://api.short.io/link_region/link_idString/DZ/07"

headers = {'authorization': '<<apiKey>>'}

response = requests.request("DELETE", url, headers=headers)

print(response.text)

const axios = require('axios');

const options = {
    headers: {
      'content-type': 'application/json',
      authorization: '<<apiKey>>'
    }
  };

  axios.delete('https://api.short.io/link_region/LINK_ID/AO/18', options)
.then(function (response) {
  console.log(response.data);
}) .catch(function (response) {
  console.log(response);
});

require 'uri'
require 'net/http'
require 'openssl'

url = URI("https://api.short.io/link_region/LINK_ID/AO/17")

http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

request = Net::HTTP::Delete.new(url)
request["authorization"] = '<<apiKey>>'

response = http.request(request)
puts response.read_body

5) Launch the file.
