Delete Profile

Permanently delete the profile from Mixpanel, along with all of its properties. The $delete object value is ignored - the profile is determined by the $distinct_id from the request itself.

If you have duplicate profiles, use property $ignore_alias set to true so that you don’t delete the original profile when trying to delete the duplicate (as they pass in the alias as the $distinct_id).

Query Parameters

strict · integer

If present and equal to 1, Mixpanel will validate the provided records and return a JSON object with per-record error messages for records that fail validation.

Required range: 0 <= x <= 1

verbose · integer

If present and equal to 1, Mixpanel will respond with a JSON Object describing the success or failure of the tracking call. The returned object will have two keys: status, with the value 1 on success and 0 on failure, and error, with a string-valued error message if the request wasn't successful. This is useful for debugging during implementation.

Required range: 0 <= x <= 1

callback · string

If present, Mixpanel will return a content-type: text/javascript with a body that calls a function by value provided. This is useful for creating local callbacks to a successful track call in JavaScript.

Body

application/json

Minimum array length: 1

$token · string · default: YOUR_PROJECT_TOKEN · required

$distinct_id · string · default: 13793 · required

$delete · string | null · default: null · required

$ignore_alias · boolean · default: false
