Remove members from an org unit
Remove one or more members from an org unit.
Limits: Maximum 5 members per request; duplicates are removed.
Behavior: Members not in the unit are silently ignored.
Rate limit: 1 request per minute per bot, shared with the add-members endpoint (returns 429 if exceeded).
Org-unit restriction: If your organization restricts communication to within org units, your bot must be a member of the org unit; otherwise a 404 is returned. A bot that does not belong to any org unit cannot access any of them (every org unit returns 404).
Authorizations
Bearer token for the request. Two flavors:
- Static API key — pass your API key (the value returned as
apiKeywhen the bot was created). Must be paired withX-Signature+X-Timestamp(thehmacSignaturescheme). - OAuth access token — pass the JWT returned by
POST /oauth/token. No signature headers are required.
HMAC-SHA256 signature for request verification. Required only when authenticating with a static API key. Omit when using an OAuth access token.
Headers
HMAC signature of the request for authentication and replay protection.
Required only when authenticating with a static API key. If you are using an OAuth access token (issued by POST /oauth/token), omit this header — the JWT carries all the authentication and integrity guarantees.
Replay Protection: The signature includes a timestamp to prevent replay attacks. Requests with timestamps older than 5 minutes are rejected.
The signature payload differs by HTTP method:
- POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE: HMAC-SHA256 of
{timestamp}.{body} - GET: HMAC-SHA256 of
{timestamp}.{uri}
The signature is calculated as:
- Get the current Unix timestamp in milliseconds
- Determine the payload:
- For POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE: Use
{timestamp}.{body}where body is the request body - For GET: Use
{timestamp}.{uri}where uri is the full request URI (e.g.,/v2/members?limit=10)
- For POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE: Use
- Calculate HMAC-SHA256 of the combined payload using your API secret
- Hex-encode the output
- Include the timestamp in the
X-Timestampheader
Example for GET request to /v2/members?limit=10:
Example for POST request with body {"topicId":"123","text":"Hello"}:
For multipart/form-data requests, sign the exact raw request body bytes
(including boundaries and file bytes) as transmitted.

Unix timestamp in milliseconds when the request was created. Used for replay protection — requests older than 5 minutes are rejected.
Required only when authenticating with a static API key. Omit when using an OAuth access token.
