WatchEye · Adhoc Checks

Delete an adhoc check

DELETE
/adhoc-checks/{adhoc_check_uuid}
LIVE

Soft-deletes the adhoc check. For a group check (check_type = group), its child checks
are deleted alongside it. See the
Soft Deletion section of the API guide
for the full policy (30-day recovery window, portal-only restore).
The records are no longer returned by list/show endpoints but remain in the database for
compliance and audit purposes.

Sandbox Environment

Build and test against a sandbox account. Sandbox is a separate account with its own UUID and its own API keys, and the environment is fixed at the account level, so you cannot switch an existing key between live and sandbox with a parameter or header. Both share the same base URL, so the account behind your key is what determines which environment you are in. GET /v1/account returns an environment field of live or sandbox, and that is the authoritative answer.

Calls on a sandbox key are not billed. Every endpoint, response shape, error envelope, idempotency and rate-limit behaviour mirrors live, so the only change when you move to production should be the credentials. Sandbox accounts are provisioned by your Global Data account manager.

Practical Applications

Technical Use Cases tag

delete

Removing a record from day-to-day workflows

Take a adhoc check out of active lists when it is no longer relevant. The delete is a soft delete: the record is hidden from the API and the portal but retained for compliance.

restore_from_trash

Recoverable for 30 days

A soft-deleted record can be restored from the portal within 30 days. After that window it is eligible for permanent removal.

inventory_2

Prefer archiving where you need to keep it

Where a record must stay accessible for audit or historical reporting, archive it instead. Archived records are retained indefinitely and are not subject to the 30-day window.

Trust & Assurance

Common Questions tag

Everything you need to know about implementation details and compliance infrastructure.

gavel Compliance

Is the record permanently removed?

add

No. Every DELETE in this API is a soft delete, because WatchEye retains a record of every entity, program, monitor and note for compliance and audit purposes.

A soft-deleted record disappears from list endpoints, and its own GET returns 404. The original DELETE returns the deleted record once as confirmation; subsequent calls return 404.

Deleted records can be restored from the portal within 30 days. There is no API equivalent of the restore action. After 30 days they are eligible for permanent removal. If you need to keep a record beyond that window, archive it instead.

rocket_launch Implementation

What are the rate limits?

add

600 requests per minute by default, enforced with a 60-second fixed window. Every response carries X-RateLimit-Limit and X-RateLimit-Remaining.

Exceeding the limit returns 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header giving the number of seconds to wait, and X-RateLimit-Reset giving the reset timestamp. Schedule retries from Retry-After instead of a fixed sleep, and slow down before you hit zero, not after.

Higher limits can be arranged case by case through WatchEye support.
