API Proxmox DeleteVM

[Cubix Gamer]

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible with the proxmox API, to make API requests to delete a VM using an html request

Thanks in advance for your answers

yes, of course:
https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/#/nodes/{node}/qemu/{vmid}

Destroy the VM and all used/owned volumes. Removes any VM specific permissions and firewall rules
HTTP:       DELETE /api2/json/nodes/{node}/qemu/{vmid}
 
CLI:    pvesh delete /nodes/{node}/qemu/{vmid}

Does it work for lxc containers too?
Because it is my case

That specific API call? No, it does not... You would need an API call for LXC...
https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/#/nodes/{node}/lxc/{vmid}

Directory index
HTTP:       GET /api2/json/nodes/{node}/lxc/{vmid}
 
CLI:    pvesh get /nodes/{node}/lxc/{vmid}

But doesn't the GET function delete?

no, I pasted wrong output from the page I referenced in prior replies..:

Destroy the container (also delete all uses files).
HTTP:       DELETE /api2/json/nodes/{node}/lxc/{vmid}
 
CLI:    pvesh delete /nodes/{node}/lxc/{vmid}

Check this resource out https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/#/nodes/{node}/lxc/{vmid} - very useful..

Ok thank you very much
And also by chance is it possible to reinstall a lxc just with a different os
