How to delete pads in etherpad-lite

Question

Is it possible? How? I only can create or edit created. I am using my own server. I would like to admin or at least delete some pads.

Answer 1

if you are still expecting an answer: via the provided api. you need the api key (e.g. /var/etherpad-lite/APIKEY.txt) and the id of the pad you want to delete (e.g. mypad). then you send a simple http request to

http://yourserver.org:9001/api/1/deletePad?apikey=yourkey&padID=mypad

Answer 2

The ep_adminpads plugin can be used to list and delete pads - it is installed by npm: see at npmjs or github or even from the /admin route inside the etherpad installation.

Answer 3

or if you want to have an open source solution: https://github.com/Visono/padlister hope, that it works, it is my first open source project ;)
