{% hint style="info" %}
This is a **singleton API**, meaning that only the organization within the current scope it’s retrieved. No need to specify the resource ID. If you need to manage (programmatically or manually) all your organization you can leverage our [Provisioning API](/provisioning/api-reference/organizations.md). This endpoint is also **immutable**, meaning that create, update, and delete operations are not allowed.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
If — for whatever reason — you need to delete one or more of the organizations you created, please ask the organization owner to reach out to our support team and send a specific request to [support@commercelayer.io ](mailto:support@commercelayer.io)specifying the list of the organization slug you want to be deleted.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
To fully manage your organizations please leverage the [dedicated endpoint](/provisioning/api-reference/organizations.md) on the Provisioning API.
{% endhint %}
