  i have got this REST API

curl -k -u {username} \
 -H 'X-Atlassian-Token: no-check' \
 -H 'Accept: application/json' \
 -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
 -d 'buildKey={planKey}' \
 -X POST 'http://localhost:8085/chain/admin/deleteChain!doDelete.action'

2. when i trying to implement this i am facing authentication some error .

3.i have give permission in UI , and i am the admin of that plan, and project as well.

Hello @SunadhRaj_Malaka

I can see two issues here:

1 - You are enclosing your username with {} characters. This is used as a delimiter and should not be used on the request. Try using simply sumalaka and not {sumalaka} as the username. There is a clear error message stating that user is not authorised.

2 - This is not a Bamboo REST API call. That's actually an HTML form submission that may change between releases. If you are looking to use the REST API please try this:

• https://developer.atlassian.com/server/bamboo/rest/api-group-api/#api-api-latest-plan-projectkey-buildkey-delete
• Example: 

  $ curl -u sumalaka:password --request DELETE --url 'http://localhost:8085/rest/api/latest/plan/PROJ-PLAN'
