One of these endpoints is the \u003cem\u003eDelete an Opportunity\u003c\/em\u003e endpoint, which is designed to remove a sales opportunity from the Pipeliner database. The use of this API call is usually restricted to those with appropriate permissions, as deleting data is a critical operation that could have significant impacts on reporting and sales management.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use the DELETE an Opportunity Endpoint\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe \u003cem\u003eDelete an Opportunity\u003c\/em\u003e endpoint is used by constructing an HTTP DELETE request to the Pipeliner CRM server with the specific URI corresponding to the opportunity you wish to delete. This usually looks something like: \u003ccode\u003e\/api\/v1\/opportunities\/{opportunity_id}\u003c\/code\u003e, where \u003ccode\u003e{opportunity_id}\u003c\/code\u003e is the unique identifier of the opportunity you want to remove.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nWhen this request is sent, the Pipeliner CRM system will attempt to delete the specified opportunity.
