docs.delete

This method deletes an existing document. Will return a blank OK response object if successful.

Parameters

integer doc_id (required)
string api_key (required) API key assigned to your account.
string api_sig (optional) MD5 hash of the active request and your secret key. This is an optional security measure. See the signing documentation for more info.
string session_key (optional) A session key for a signed in user. If this parameter is provided, your application will carry out actions on behalf of the signed in user corresponding to the session key. Otherwise, your application will carry out actions on behalf of the user account associated with the API account. See the authentication documentation for more information
string my_user_id (optional) This parameter is intended for sites with their own user authentication system. You can create phantom Scribd accounts that correspond to your users by simply passing the unique identifier you use to identify your own user accounts to my_user_id. If you pass this parameter to an API method, the API will act as if it were executed by the phantom user corresponding to my_user_id. See the authentication documentation for more information.
