Deleting a Content Item’s Vanity URL

Problem

You need to remove the vanity URL from a content item.

Solution

Use the unique identifier of the content item to delete the vanity URL. The content will remain available at the default Dashboard URL.

Python
R

from posit import connect
client = connect.Client()

CONTENT_GUID = "154bd2af-e8fa-4aa4-aab8-dcef701f4af9"

client.delete(f"/v1/content/{CONTENT_GUID}/vanity")

A successful response returns a 204 HTTP status code with an empty response.

<Response [204]>

library(connectapi)
client <- connect()

CONTENT_GUID <- "154bd2af-e8fa-4aa4-aab8-dcef701f4af9"

content <- content_item(client, CONTENT_GUID)
delete_vanity_url(content)

A successful response prints the following output.

Posit Connect Content: 
  Content GUID: 154bd2af-e8fa-4aa4-aab8-dcef701f4af9
  Content URL: https://rsc.radixu.com/connect/#/apps/154bd2af-e8fa-4aa4-aab8-dcef701f4af9/
  Content Title: Example Content

content_item(client, guid = "154bd2af-e8fa-4aa4-aab8-dcef701f4af9")
