Delete Project

Permanently delete a project from your organization. This will remove the project and all its entity associations (linked invoices, logistics requests, etc.).

Irreversible Action: Deleting a project permanently removes the project and all entity-project associations. The underlying entities (invoices, logistics requests, etc.) are NOT deleted — only their link to this project is removed.

Request

Headers

string

required

Your API key for authenticationExample: sk_live_1234567890abcdef

string

required

Your organization UUIDExample: a8315ef3-dd50-43f8-b7ce-d839e68d51fa

Path Parameters

string

required

The unique identifier (UUID) of the project to deleteExample: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

Response

Returns 204 No Content on successful deletion. No response body is returned.

Example

curl -X DELETE "https://api.dcycle.io/v1/projects/550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000" \
  -H "x-api-key: ${DCYCLE_API_KEY}" \
  -H "x-organization-id: ${DCYCLE_ORG_ID}"

import requests

api_key = os.getenv("DCYCLE_API_KEY")
org_id = os.getenv("DCYCLE_ORG_ID")
project_id = "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"

headers = {
    "x-api-key": api_key,
    "x-organization-id": org_id
}

response = requests.delete(
    f"https://api.dcycle.io/v1/projects/{project_id}",

Successful Response

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

No response body is returned.

Common Errors

401 Unauthorized

Cause: Missing or invalid API key

{
  "detail": "Invalid API key",
  "code": "INVALID_API_KEY"
}

Solution: Verify your API key is valid and active.

404 Not Found

Cause: Project not found or doesn’t belong to your organization

{
  "detail": "Project not found"
}

Solution: Verify the project ID is correct and belongs to your organization.

422 Validation Error

Cause: Invalid project ID format

{
  "detail": [
    {
      "loc": ["path", "project_id"],
      "msg": "value is not a valid uuid",
      "type": "type_error.uuid"
    }
  ]
}

Solution: Ensure the project ID is a valid UUID format.

Use Cases

Delete with Confirmation

Verify the project details before deleting:

def delete_project_with_confirmation(project_id):
    """Delete project after reviewing its details"""
    # Get project details first
    response = requests.get(
        f"https://api.dcycle.io/v1/projects/{project_id}",
        headers=headers
    )

    if response.status_code != 200:
        print("Project not found")
        return False

    project = response.json()
    print(f"About to delete:")
    print(f"  Name: {project['name']}")
    print(f"  Type: {project['project_type']}")
    print(f"  Created: {project['created_at']}")

    confirm = input("Delete this project? (yes/no): ")
    if confirm.lower() == 'yes':
        response = requests.delete(
            f"https://api.dcycle.io/v1/projects/{project_id}",
            headers=headers
        )
        return response.status_code == 204
    return False

Clean Up Completed Projects

Remove projects that have ended and are no longer needed:

import datetime

def cleanup_old_projects(months_after_end=6):
    """Delete projects that ended more than N months ago"""
    response = requests.get(
        "https://api.dcycle.io/v1/projects/extended",
        headers=headers
    )

    cutoff = datetime.date.today() - datetime.timedelta(days=months_after_end * 30)
    deleted = 0

    for project in response.json():
        if project["end_date"] and project["end_date"] < str(cutoff):
            ext = project["extended"]
            if ext["number_of_tasks"] == ext["number_of_tasks_completed"]:
                response = requests.delete(
                    f"https://api.dcycle.io/v1/projects/{project['id']}",
                    headers=headers
                )
                if response.status_code == 204:
                    deleted += 1
                    print(f"Deleted: {project['name']}")

    print(f"Total deleted: {deleted}")

Best Practices

Before Deleting

Export data: Download any project reports before deletion
Unlink entities first: If you want to preserve the entity-project links for audit, document them before deleting
Check dependencies: Ensure no active reports or dashboards depend on this project

Update Project

Modify project instead of deleting

List Projects

View all projects

Get Project

View project details before deleting

Unlink Entities

Remove entity associations without deleting the project
