v1Operation ID v1_public_customer_media_destroy

Deletes one file from the customer.

Permission

Needs the Manage Customers permission (either level). Whether the customer is assigned to you is not checked.

Business rules

  • Customers synced from Shopify are read-only here: changes are refused with 422 validation_error "External customers are read-only. Manage changes from Shopify." System customers (is_system: true) are refused the same way ("System customer cannot be modified or deleted.").

Path parameters

  • team_slugstringrequired

    Your team slug, shown as Team ID next to your API key in Profile.

    • Example your-team
  • hash_idstringrequired

    The customer's id (id from List customers or Create a customer). A hash id from an earlier answer; unique keys and document numbers (such as PO0042) don't work here.

    • Example EDhVUaC6jbLbed
  • idstringrequired

    The file's id (id from the list of the customer's or vendor's files). A hash id from an earlier answer; unique keys and document numbers (such as PO0042) don't work here.

    • Example uAu3dAKIaHyAYk

Request body

This operation takes no request body.

Response

200Successful response.

Errors

  • 401The API key is missing or wrong (unauthenticated).

  • 403You are not allowed to do this. api_access_not_in_plan: your team's plan doesn't include API access (Pro and above, with an active subscription or trial), so every request answers this until the team upgrades. When your role lacks the permission the operation needs, the body is only {"message": "Insufficient Permission"}. Other refusals use the error envelope, with unauthorized or user_is_not_authorized.

    When
    Your role has no Manage Customers permission. This 403 has a short body, {"message": "Insufficient Permission"}, with no success or error.
    Fix
    Ask a team owner to give your role Manage Customers.
  • 404Not found. page_not_found: the team slug is unknown, you are not a member of the team, or an id in the path is not one of this team's. code: null, with a message that starts "No query results for": there is no record with that id.

    When
    Not a file of this customer, or no live customer has this id. error.code is null and error.message names the record type.
    Fix
    Check the ids.
  • 422The request was refused and changed nothing. validation_failed lists what to fix in error.fields; other codes name a business rule, explained in error.message. A few checks answer with only {"message": "..."}. An operation that calls another service (a payment provider, a carrier, an accounting app) can answer connect_timeout ("Please retry again") when that service does not answer in time: the change may or may not have happened there, so read the record back before you retry.

    When
    The customer comes from Shopify, or is a system customer (error.code validation_error, with the reason in error.message).
    Fix
    Change Shopify customers in Shopify. System customers cannot be changed.
