+# Forward Extremities Admin API
+
+Enables querying and deleting forward extremities from rooms. When a lot of forward
+extremities accumulate in a room, performance can become degraded. For details, see 
+[#1760](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/1760).
+
+## Check for forward extremities
+
+To check the status of forward extremities for a room:
+
+```
+    GET /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id_or_alias>/forward_extremities
+```
+
+A response as follows will be returned:
+
+```json
+{
+  "count": 1,
+  "results": [
+    {

+**WARNING**: Please ensure you know what you're doing and have read 
+the related issue [#1760](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/1760).
+Under no situations should this API be executed as an automated maintenance task!
+
+If a room has lots of forward extremities, the extra can be
+deleted as follows:
+
+```
+    DELETE /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id_or_alias>/forward_extremities
+```
+
+A response as follows will be returned, indicating the amount of forward extremities
