# Delete a bot

Source: https://langbot.ai/docs/api/bots/delete-bot

`DELETE /v1/bots/{bot_id}`

Delete a bot: it stops being readable at once, its report tokens stop working, its wallets are unlinked, and its events are purged within the hour.

**Auth.** An account token (`Authorization: Bearer lb_…`) or a signed-in web session. A report-only token (`lbr_…`) is refused here with `403 scope_denied`.

**Limits.** Counts against your plan's API requests (60, 600 or 3,000 a minute on Free, Builder and Standard).

## Parameters
