Delete a subscription topic

DELETE /v1/topics/{name}
Auth required api.topics.manage

Deletes a managed topic definition and drops it from the SES contact list. The topic is addressed by its immutable name. Git-backed topics are read-only here (409 conflict) — the sync owns them, and removing the name from the repo archives (never deletes) the topic. Idempotent: deleting an already-absent topic returns 204.

Path parameters

name string required

The topic's org-unique name (the same identifier GET /v1/topics exposes). An unknown name is 404 not_found.
