Canonical: https://www.chat-data.com/api-reference/delete-conversation

## Authentication

Send an API key as a Bearer token: `Authorization: Bearer $CHAT_DATA_API_KEY`. Workspace keys reach every chatbot in the workspace; chatbot-scoped keys reach only their chatbot. Keep keys on the server.

## Description

Deletes a specific conversation associated with a chatbot. This operation requires both `chatbotId` and `conversationId`.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| chatbotId | query | string | yes | The unique identifier of the chatbot. |
| conversationId | query | string | yes | The unique identifier of the conversation to be deleted. |

## Example request

```bash
curl -X DELETE 'https://api.chat-data.com/api/v2/delete-conversation?chatbotId=6650f1c2a9e4b83d2c7a1f05&conversationId=3f2b8c1e-9a4d-4e7b-8c2a-5d1e6f7a8b9c' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CHAT_DATA_API_KEY"
```

## Example response (200)

```json
{
  "status": "success",
  "message": "Conversation deleted successfully."
}
```

## Responses

| Status | Description |
| --- | --- |
| 200 | Successful response. |
| 400 | `chatbotId` or `conversationId` is missing. |
| 401 | Authentication failed: the `Authorization` header is missing or not in the `Bearer <key>` format, the API key does not exist, its workspace is unavailable or has no owner, or the workspace's plan does not include API access. `message` says which. |
| 403 | The API key cannot access the chatbot given in the `chatbotId` query parameter: a chatbot-scoped key used with another chatbot's ID gets `Access denied to this chatbot`, and any key gets `Chatbot <id> was not found in this API key's workspace. It may have been deleted or moved to another workspace.` when that chatbot does not exist or belongs to another workspace. |
| 404 | The chatbot has no conversation with this ID. |
| 429 | The workspace sent more than 600 API requests in the last minute. Wait the number of seconds given in the `Retry-After` header (and in `message`) before retrying. |
| 500 | The conversation could not be deleted. |
