4xx Client Error

HTTP 410 Gone

The target resource is no longer available at the server and no forwarding address is known. This condition is expected to be considered permanent. Unlike 404, this explicitly states the resource existed but was intentionally removed.

Common Causes

  • Resource intentionally and permanently deleted
  • API endpoint deprecated and removed
  • Content taken down for legal reasons
  • Account or profile permanently closed

How to Fix

  1. 1Remove links and references to this resource
  2. 2Check for an archived version if the content is needed
  3. 3Update API integrations to use replacement endpoints
  4. 4Contact the site owner if the removal seems unintentional

Example

HTTP 410 Gone
GET /api/v1/legacy-endpoint HTTP/1.1

→ 410 Gone
→ "This endpoint was removed in v2. Use /api/v2/new-endpoint"
