Authenticate every request with an API key from your team's API page in the dashboard, sent as `Authorization: Bearer fc_live_...`. Requests and responses are JSON. Lists are paginated with a cursor: pass a response's `next_cursor` as `cursor` to get the next page, until `next_cursor` is null. Errors return a `code` you can act on and a `message` you can show. Every response includes an `X-Request-Id` header; quote it when you contact support. version: '1' contact: {} servers: - url: https://api.formcarry.com security: [] tags: - name: forms description: Your forms - name: submissions description: Submissions received by a form - name: me description: The key you are using - name: health description: Service status paths: /v1/forms/{form_id}: delete: tags: - forms summary: Delete a form description: >- Permanently deletes the form.
