Precincts API

These endpoints are no longer being maintained because the Precincts v1 API has a v2 equivalent.

Precincts can be referenced by their id elsewhere in the API, for example in the people API.

Attributes

__nonce - generated pagination nonce. Do not modify.

{
  "precinct": {

{
  "precinct": {
    "id": 498,
    "code": "1339",
    "name": "test-precinct-3"

DELETE https://foobar.nationbuilder.com/api/v1/precincts/498

This should return an empty response with code 204, indicating successful removal of the precinct.
