WatchEye · Adhoc Checks

Delete an adhoc check

Deleting an adhoc check is a soft delete. The record, and for a group check its children, stop appearing in list and show responses but remain in the database for compliance and audit purposes. The deleted record is returned once as confirmation, and a user with the account manager role can restore it in the portal within 30 days.

  • Soft delete: hidden from the API and the portal, never destroyed within the recovery window
  • A group check takes its child checks with it
For developers

After the technical detail?

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.

What the check gives you

Removing a one-off screen from view without losing the record

A check run against the wrong subject, or one that has served its purpose, can be taken out of the working lists. WatchEye preserves it: deletion hides the record rather than destroying it, so the audit trail stays intact and a mistake can be reversed.

That the record is gone from the working views

After deletion the adhoc check is no longer returned by the list, its show endpoint returns 404, and for a group check the same applies to each child.

What was deleted

The response returns the deleted adhoc check once as confirmation, in the same shape as the show endpoint. A second delete call returns 404.

That it can be recovered

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.

What it costs

Charged per check type, at launch, against your account balance

Each screening check type you launch is charged to your WatchEye account when the request is accepted. The rate for each check type is set for your account and communicated by your Global Data account manager. Statements with a breakdown of API calls and their costs are available in the WatchEye portal.

  • Billed at launch
  • Refunded if the provider fails
How billing works
Credits drawn down as each check is queued
  • Each check type in the request is charged when the launch is accepted.
  • If the upstream provider returns an error, the check is marked failed and the credit for that check is refunded.
  • A 402 response means the account has reached its credit or call limit. Nothing is queued and nothing is charged.
  • Reads, lists and PDF downloads are not billed.

Questions

Questions we get asked about deleting an adhoc check

Do we need a developer to implement this?
Yes. This is a single REST call by UUID, so a developer wires it to whatever workflow retires a check in your system. A sandbox account is available for development at no charge. It is a separate account with its own API keys, it returns test data in the same response shapes as live, and the same base URL serves both environments.
What does our system need to send?
The adhoc check UUID in the path. Nothing else.
What comes back?
A 200 with the deleted adhoc check record, returned once as confirmation. Subsequent calls for the same UUID return 404.
Is the data destroyed?
No. Every delete endpoint in the API is a soft delete. The record stays in the database for compliance and audit purposes, hidden from the API and the portal.
Can it be undone?
Within 30 days, in the portal: a user with the account manager role applies the Show deleted filter, opens the record and chooses Restore. There is no API equivalent. After the window the record is eligible for permanent removal and its UUID cannot be recovered.
Is deleting billed?
No. The charge was made when the check was launched; deleting it does not refund or charge anything.
Getting started

The first step to access is a conversation

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.
