To delete a room via the HTTP API without using a client library, send a POST request to your LiveKit server's

DeleteRoom

endpoint. Here's how to do it with JSON:

POST <https://your-livekit-host/twirp/livekit.RoomService/DeleteRoom>
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN

{
  "room": "your-room-name"
}

• Authorization: You'll need a JWT token with

roomCreate

permission. • On success: You receive an empty JSON object `{}`; all participants are disconnected, and the room is removed from the server. If you prefer, you may use protobuf instead of JSON by changing the

Content-Type

header and request body format. The endpoint follows the Twirp protocol, so be sure to use the exact path as shown above. Replace

your-livekit-host

,

YOUR_JWT_TOKEN

, and

your-room-name

with your actual values. Let me know if you need help with JWT token creation or have further questions about permissions. Sources: livekit/livekit_room.pb.go | pkg/service/roomservice.go | Managing rooms | LiveKit Docs | Inside a session | LiveKit Docs
