# Request Event Cancellation

`POST /v1/events/cancel/request`

Request a cancellation token for an event. Canceling an event is irreversible — it notifies all guests, processes refunds, and permanently deletes the event. Because of this, cancellation uses a two-step flow: first request a token here, then pass it to /events/cancel to execute. The token expires after 15 minutes.

## Request body

- object
  - `event_id` string, required — Event ID, this usually starts with evt-

## Response `200`

Successful response.

- object
  - `cancellation_token` string, required — A short-lived token to confirm the cancellation. Expires after 15 minutes.
  - `is_paid` boolean, required — Whether the event has paid guests. If true, you must pass should_refund in the confirm step.
  - `guest_count` number, required — The number of approved guests for this event.
