# Archive counterparty account

Archives a counterparty payment account.

`DELETE /v1/counterparties/{counterpartyId}/accounts/{counterpartyAccountId}`

Archived accounts are hidden from default lists.

Requires an [API key](/docs/developing-with-sdp/authentication) with the `counterparties.manage` action.

## Path parameters

- **`counterpartyId`** · `string` · required · min length 1 · example `cpty_example`

  Counterparty identifier.

- **`counterpartyAccountId`** · `string` · required · min length 1 · example `cpacct_example`

  Counterparty account identifier.

## Headers

- **`x-project-id`** · `string` · min length 1 · example `prj_example`

  Required for dashboard sessions. API keys use their assigned project.

- **`Idempotency-Key`** · `string`

  Use a unique 1–255 printable ASCII key per operation. Reuse it with the same request on retries. An in-flight attempt returns `409`; a changed request returns `422`. [Retry and recovery rules](/docs/developing-with-sdp/idempotency).

## Responses

- **`204`** Counterparty account archived

- **`400`** Bad Request

  - **`error`** · `object` · required

    Standard error payload.

    - **`code`** · `string` · required

      Machine-readable error code.

    - **`message`** · `string` · required

      Human-readable error message.

    - **`details`** · `object`

      Optional error details for debugging.

      - **`*`** · `any`

  - **`meta`** · `object`

    - **`requestId`** · `string` · min length 1 · example `req_example`

      Request identifier for tracing.

- **`401`** Unauthorized

  Same fields as `400`.

- **`403`** Forbidden. Requires the `counterparties.manage` action: an API key must hold it (a module's `manage` or `execute` also covers its `read`), and a signed-in member's organization role must include it. Without it the error is INSUFFICIENT_PERMISSIONS and `error.details.action` names the action. Any other 403 names its own reason.

  Same fields as `400`.

- **`404`** Not Found

  Same fields as `400`.

- **`409`** Conflict

  Same fields as `400`.

- **`422`** Unprocessable Entity

  Same fields as `400`.

- **`500`** Internal Server Error

  Same fields as `400`.
