# Delete a news draft

DELETE https://www.lettbestilt.no/api/v1/partner/news/{newsId}

**Partner key only.** Drafts only (`409 NOT_DRAFT`); archive a published news item instead. LettBestilt MCP never deletes news. Bound to the key's environment: a TEST key only reaches news whose recipients are all sandboxes (never `audienceAll`); a LIVE key reaches all news that is not bound to TEST (including `audienceAll` news, which on publishing is locked to the sandboxes as well). Needs a key created by an owner or administrator. Changes count in the partner's bucket of 60 per 10 minutes (shared with LettBestilt Partner). Every change is logged with ids and field names, never the text.

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — The partner key (`lbp_test_…` or `lbp_live_…`), sent as `Authorization: Bearer lbp_…` and created in LettBestilt Partner under **Partner key**. It belongs to the whole partner, not to a restaurant, and only works against `/api/v1/partner`. Server to server only: a request with an `Origin` header is rejected with `403 FORBIDDEN`, and the key must never be in a browser. A TEST key sees and creates only sandboxes; LIVE keys work once LettBestilt Partner is open. A suspended or archived partner, a revoked key and a restaurant key (`lbs_…`) here give `401 UNAUTHORIZED`; an expired key gives `401 KEY_EXPIRED`.

## Request

### Path parameters

- `newsId` (string, required) — The news item's `id` from `GET /news` or `POST /news`.

## Response

### 200

Deleted.

- `data` (ApiV1PartnerNewsNewsIdDeleteResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaData, required)

## Errors

### 401 Unauthorized Error

`UNAUTHORIZED`: the partner key is missing, invalid or revoked, or the partner is suspended or archived. `KEY_EXPIRED`: the key is past its expiry date.

- `error` (ErrorBody, required)

### 403 Forbidden Error

`KEY_ROLE_FORBIDDEN`: the person who created the key is no longer an owner or administrator in the partner team (`error.details.capability` is `news.manage`). `PARTNER_NEWS_FORBIDDEN`: only external partners have news. Or as for reading: `FORBIDDEN` (`Origin` header), `PARTNER_AGREEMENT_REQUIRED` or `PARTNER_NOT_APPROVED`.

- `error` (ErrorBody, required)

### 404 Not Found Error

`NEWS_NOT_FOUND`: the same response for an unknown id, another partner's news and news outside the key's environment.

- `error` (ErrorBody, required)

### 409 Conflict Error

`NOT_DRAFT` or `PARTNER_ARCHIVED`.

- `error` (ErrorBody, required)

### 429 Too Many Requests Error

`RATE_LIMITED`: more than 120 calls per minute for this partner key, or more than 600 per minute for the partner across all its keys; all writes also share the partner's bucket of 30 changes per minute per environment.

- `error` (ErrorBody, required)

- `message` (string, required) — A human-readable explanation, often in Norwegian. For business rules it is usually suitable to show the customer.
- `requestId` (string, required) — The same value as the `X-Request-Id` response header. Search for it in the API log in LettBestilt Partner, and include it when you contact LettBestilt.
- `details` (any, optional) — Extra data for some codes, for example `issues` for `VALIDATION_FAILED`, the totals for `PRICE_CHANGED` or `requiredScope` for `INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE`.
