Delete a service

DELETE

/v1/services/{service_id}

curl --fail-with-body -X DELETE 'https://api.talki.it/v1/services/45c470b7-592a-42cd-8ce8-5d7a0a497d26' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TALKI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: service-delete-1"

• Production

Delete a service for good. Its own resource (owner_service_id) is deleted with it, and it stops drawing on every other resource. Refused with service_has_upcoming_bookings while any of its bookings is still to come or under way, even on an inactive service: set is_active: false instead, which stops new bookings and keeps those. Past and cancelled bookings stay, with service.id null and the service’s name. Sends service.deleted, resource.deleted for its own resource and resource.updated for each other resource it drew on. Requires services:write. Limited to 120 requests per minute per account (API key) or per installation (OAuth).

Parameters

Path Parameters

service_id

required

Service Id

string

Header Parameters

Talki-Version

string

Example

2026-10-01

Serve this one request at the given dated contract version instead of the credential’s pin. An unsupported value is refused with 400 unsupported_version, never downgraded.

Idempotency-Key

string

<= 255 characters

Unique key for this logical write. Reuse it only when retrying the same method, path, query and body. Required on appointment writes, on creating a service, a resource, a closure, a tag, a caller rule or a document, and on teaching the assistant; optional on every other write. Retained for 24 hours: a retry with the same key gets the first response again, marked Idempotency-Replayed: true, and a refusal that holds until the state changes (a time taken, a list full) is replayed too. A response a retry can change is not kept when the request saved nothing, and the retry runs the request again: a 400 asking for a different request (invalid_parameter, invalid_cursor, export_too_large, unknown_scenario, no_services_requested, stay_too_short, stay_too_long, stay_dates_invalid), a 415, a 409 request_conflict, document_not_ready or check_in_progress, a 412, a 429 and a 5xx.
