← Waste Water Treatments
Delete measurements of waste water treatment plants by id, together with their emissions. The request checks every
id and answers
Request-level errors:
202 Accepted with an ingest job that deletes them in the
background (see how bulk ingestion works). Follow it with
GET /v2/ingest-jobs/{id} or, for a job submitted with an API key, the
ingest_job.finished webhook.
The ids are the ones a create job gives you (each item’s entity_id in
GET /v2/ingest-jobs/{id}/items) or the ids of
List Waste Water Treatments.
Permanent. Deleted measurements and their emissions cannot be recovered. Use
dry_run=true first if you are not
sure.Beta. Part of the bulk ingest API, in beta. The contract may still change before general availability.

How it works
- The request checks every id. One that does not exist, belongs to a plant outside your organization’s
perimeter or is repeated rejects the whole request with
422, and nothing is deleted. - The job deletes them in the background with their emissions and custom column values; their project links and comments go with them. The plant itself is not touched.
- When every chunk is done the job is
completed(orcompleted_with_errors). For a job submitted with an API key,ingest_job.finishedis sent with"operation": "delete"to the webhook endpoints of thex-organization-idorganization.
Request
Headers
string
required
Your API key (see Authentication).
string
required
1 to 255 characters, one per batch, looked up per organization across every v2 bulk route. Within 24 hours, the
same key with the same route and body returns the original job (with
Idempotent-Replayed: true); the same key with
another body or on another route is 422 IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED, and while the first request is still being
processed 409 IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_IN_PROGRESS. After 24 hours the key is free, and a request with it is a new one. See
The Idempotency-Key.Query Parameters
boolean
default:"false"
Check only: the same
422 for bad ids, nothing deleted, no job; 200 with {"dry_run": true, "submitted": n, "valid": n} when every id is valid. It does not check or store the Idempotency-Key.Body Parameters
array[uuid]
required
Waste water treatment measurement ids, 1 to 5,000, each once.
Response
202 Accepted with the job (entity_type: waste_water_treatments, operation: delete) and a Location header to
it. GET /v2/ingest-jobs/{id}/items has one item per measurement, in the
order sent; an item is failed with DELETE_FAILED when its measurement was already gone by the time the job reached
it.
Errors
Problem details. Per-id codes inerrors[].error_code of a 422 BULK_RECORDS_REJECTED
(source_row_index is the position in ids):
error_code | Cause |
|---|---|
NOT_FOUND | The measurement does not exist or belongs to a plant outside your organization’s perimeter (both answer the same). |
DUPLICATE_ID | The measurement is already in the request. |
401 for a missing or invalid API key, 403 LOGGED_USER_NOT_MEMBER when the key’s user is not a
member of the organization, 422 REQUEST_VALIDATION_FAILED for a malformed body (no ids, more than 5,000, no
Idempotency-Key), 422 IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED, 409 IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_IN_PROGRESS, and 429 beyond the
rate limits.
Limits
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Ids per request | 1 to 5,000 |
| Measurements per deletion chunk | 500 |
