HI,

I have code working to remove subscriptions using list uris working,
but have a use case where I need to delete a subscription with the
list id.

/1/mark_ellul/561510/subscribers.json?...... where mark_ellul is my
name, and 561510 is the list I am trying to unsubscribe from (which is
owned by another user)... should it be the user who owns the list
name, and it will unsubcribe the authenticate user?

Can someone please update this page, its totally off, showing the
wrong url, and return values (DELETE) doesn't return anything normally
(I think).

Any clarification would be appreciated

Regards

Mark

Mark, you can't delete (or add) members from lists owned by other
users. In this case the reason you're getting a 404 is because the
list "561510" owned by user mark_ellul doesn't exist.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your response.

I realized it had to be the user who owned the list... and yes I know
you cannot delete members or subscribers for other ppl's lists...

But I am working on a list social network... which will be going live
next week!

Regards

Mark

Ah, I misunderstood the question. I updated the wiki page (and the
lists/subscribers wiki page) to clarify
