Restoring a deleted organization reinstates it along with its previous configuration, including associated users, groups, roles, and policies. This is useful when an organization was deleted by mistake or when you need to recover access to resources that were managed under that organization.

> [!NOTE]
> To restore a deleted organization, you must have the organization's `id`. If you do not have the `id`, there is currently no API endpoint to list deleted organizations.

This guide explains how to restore a previously deleted organization using the Vultr API.

1. Send a `PATCH` request to the [**Restore Organization** endpoint](#) to restore the deleted organization. Replace `{organization-id}` with the id of the deleted organization.

    ```console
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/organizations/{organization-id}/restore" \
        -X PATCH \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
    ```

    A successful restoration returns an HTTP `204 No Content` response with no response body.

1. Send a `GET` request to the [**Read Organization** endpoint](https://www.vultr.com/api/#tag/organizations/operation/get-organization) to retrieve the organization details.

    ```console
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/organizations/{organization-id}" \
        -X GET \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
    ```

    The response confirms the organization has been restored and is accessible again.

1. Send a `GET` request to the [**List Organizations** endpoint](https://www.vultr.com/api/#tag/organizations/operation/list-organizations) to retrieve all organizations.

    ```console
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/organizations" \
        -X GET \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
    ```

    Verify that the restored organization is present in the response.
