Question

I have a shop with permission to read|write both orders and products. I setup some Webhooks and now I want to delete them. I am getting back 401 errors.

Starting with 4 webhooks
Trying to delete webhook 1982492
Error nil, Failed.  Response code = 401.  Response message = Unauthorized.
Trying to delete webhook 1982494
Error nil, Failed.  Response code = 401.  Response message = Unauthorized.
Trying to delete webhook 1982496
Error nil, Failed.  Response code = 401.  Response message = Unauthorized.
Trying to delete webhook 1982498
Error nil, Failed.  Response code = 401.  Response message = Unauthorized.
Ended with 4 webhooks

So, how does one delete Webhooks set on products and orders?

Here’s a conversation with my Shopify console to show it working correctly:

$ shopify console
using iliketurtles.myshopify.com
irb(main):001:0> include ShopifyAPI
=> Object
irb(main):002:0> w = Webhook.create topic: "orders/create", address: "http://whatever.place.com", format: "json"
=> #<ShopifyAPI::Webhook:0x007f8ff1895778 @attributes={"topic"=>"orders/create", "address"=>"http://whatever.place.com", "format"=>"json", "id"=>2026848, "created_at"=>"2012-08-10T15:11:25-04:00", "updated_at"=>"2012-08-10T15:11:25-04:00"}, @prefix_options={}, @persisted=true, @remote_errors=nil, @validation_context=nil, @errors=#<ActiveResource::Errors:0x007f8ff18948c8 @base=#<ShopifyAPI::Webhook:0x007f8ff1895778 ...>, @messages={}>>
irb(main):003:0> w.destroy
=> #<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>

As others have mentioned, I think your issue is permissions related.
