call03 9948 4089Deleting a program is a soft delete that cascades: every entity in it, and each entity's checks, ID checks, reports, events, notes and crossmatches, stop appearing in list and show responses but remain in the database for compliance and audit purposes. The deleted program is returned once as confirmation, and a user with the account manager role can restore it in the portal within 30 days.
For the technical detail, go to the API documentation. It holds the request and response schema, the integration guides and the error codes for this endpoint.
New accounts begin with sandbox access.
When a program has run its course, deleting it removes it and everything it holds from the working views in one step. WatchEye preserves the records, so the audit trail stays intact and the deletion can be reversed within the recovery window.
The program, its entities and each entity's checks, ID checks, reports, events, notes and crossmatches are no longer returned by list or show endpoints, which return 404 for them.
The response returns the deleted program once as confirmation. A subsequent show or list call returns 404.
Soft-deleted records can be restored within 30 days by a user with the account manager role from the portal's Show deleted filter. There is no API restore. After 30 days the records may be permanently removed.
A program is created active, can be paused and resumed, and is soft-deleted rather than destroyed. The record is retained.
To keep a program visible but stop its monitors, pause it with Update a program instead.
Charges arise when screening runs against the entities in a program: each check type launched against an entity is charged at launch, and a monitor run is charged for each entity eligible for its operation. Rates are set for your account and communicated by your Global Data account manager, and statements with a per-call breakdown are in the WatchEye portal.
Update a program pauses a program you want to keep. Show a program reads it before you delete it. List programs no longer shows it afterwards.
Sandbox accounts are provisioned by your Global Data account manager. API keys are created and managed in the WatchEye portal, and the same endpoints serve sandbox and live; the account behind the key decides which environment you are in.
