Delete record
Deletes one record. Quickbase cannot bring it back.
DELETE https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/quickbase/records/{record_id}
write Confirm
Deletes one record with the Delete record button of the edit page. It works only if your role may delete records; otherwise you get APP_PERMISSION_DENIED. Quickbase says a deleted record cannot be retrieved, so the answer returns the field values the record had, for you to keep. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters

| app string required | string | App name as it appears under My apps, e.g. 'Field Ops'. |
| table string required | string | Table name as it appears in the app's sidebar, e.g. 'Work orders'. |
| record_id integer required | integer | Record ID# from run_report, search_records or create_record. |
