# Bulk Delete

> Delete multiple purchases by ID in a single request

# Bulk Delete

Delete multiple purchases by their IDs. All purchases must belong to the requesting organization. Related emission records (`total_impacts`) are automatically deleted to maintain referential integrity.

Returns detailed results for each ID, allowing you to handle partial failures gracefully.

## Request

  Your API key for authentication

  **Example:** `sk_live_1234567890abcdef`
</ParamField>

<ParamField header="x-organization-id" type="string" required>
  Your organization UUID

  **Example:** `a8315ef3-dd50-43f8-b7ce-d839e68d51fa`
</ParamField>

### Body Parameters

<ParamField body="purchase_ids" type="string[]" required>
  Array of purchase UUIDs to delete (1–100,000 per request)
</ParamField>

## Response

<ResponseField name="deleted" type="string[]">
  UUIDs of successfully deleted purchases
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="failed" type="object[]">
  Failed deletions with reason:

  | Field    | Type   | Description                   |
