`DELETE /v1/x-builds/blocklist/{author_id}`

- Operation id: `unblockXAuthor`
- Group: [Builds](https://superbot.gg/developers/builds.md)
- Auth: A caller key holding `builds:admin` (`Authorization: Bearer sbc_…` or `x-api-key: sbc_…`), or a signed-in session.
- Scopes: `builds:admin`

## Path parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `author_id` | string | required |  |

## Response 200

The author is no longer blocked.

`application/json`: object.

- `ok` (boolean, required): One of `true`.

## Errors

Every refusal carries `error`, `message`, `doc_url` and `request_id`; the gateway routes answer in the dialect you dialed.

| Status | Codes | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | [`unauthorized`](https://superbot.gg/developers#errors-unauthorized) | The bearer is missing, malformed or unknown. |
| 403 | [`insufficient_scope`](https://superbot.gg/developers#errors-insufficient_scope) | The key lacks a scope (insufficient_scope), is revoked, or may not call this route. |
| 404 | [`not_found`](https://superbot.gg/developers#errors-not_found) | No such resource on this account. |
