call03 9948 4089Deleting a note is a soft delete: the note stays in the database for audit and compliance purposes but is removed from list and show responses, which return 404 for it afterwards. Only notes written by an API key on the account can be deleted, and the deleted note is returned once as confirmation.
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.
A note written in error, or one whose source record was withdrawn, is removed from view in one call. WatchEye preserves it, so the audit trail stays intact and the deletion can be reversed within the recovery window.
After deletion the note is no longer returned by the list and its show endpoint returns 404. The response returns the deleted note once as confirmation.
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 record may be permanently removed.
A note written by a portal user returns 404 from this endpoint, and an immutable audit-trail note returns 403.
A note is created, can be edited while an API key owns it, and is soft-deleted rather than destroyed. Archiving is a portal-only action.
Prefer archiving in the portal where the note must stay accessible for compliance.
Show a note reads it before you delete it. Update a note changes its text instead. List notes 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.
