print(response.text)

const axios = require('axios');
const options = {
    headers: {
      accept: 'application/json',
      'content-type': 'application/json',
      authorization: '<<apiKey>>'
    }
  };
  axios.post('https://api.short.io/domains/delete/domainID', '', options)
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
  });

require 'uri'
require 'net/http'
require 'openssl'
url = URI("https://api.short.io/domains/delete/domainID")
http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url)
request["authorization"] = '<<apiKey>>'
response = http.request(request)
puts response.read_body

5) Launch the file.
