## Use Cases

### Delete with Confirmation

Fetch the record first to confirm before deleting:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
def delete_business_travel(travel_id, confirm=False):
    travel = requests.get(
        f"https://api.dcycle.io/v1/business-travels/{travel_id}",
        headers=headers,
    ).json()

    if not confirm:
        print(f"About to delete:")
        print(f"  Date: {travel['start_date']} to {travel['end_date']}")
        print(f"  Route: {travel.get('origin', 'N/A')} -> {travel.get('destination', 'N/A')}")
        print(f"  Emissions: {travel['co2e']} kg CO2e")
        return False

    response = requests.delete(
        f"https://api.dcycle.io/v1/business-travels/{travel_id}",
        headers=headers,
    )
    return response.status_code == 204
```

<Note>
  For deleting multiple records at once, use the [Bulk Delete](/api-reference/business-travels/bulk-delete) or [Bulk Delete by Filters](/api-reference/business-travels/bulk-delete-by-filters) endpoints instead of looping over individual deletes.
