call03 9948 4089Deleting a monitor is a soft delete. It stops appearing in list and show responses but remains in the database for compliance and audit purposes, and a user with the account manager role can restore it in the portal within 30 days. To stop a monitor while keeping its configuration and history visible, pause it instead; monitors have no separate archive state.
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 monitor that will not run again, or one being replaced by a monitor with a different operation, is deleted in one call. WatchEye preserves the record, so its history stays available for audit and the deletion can be reversed within the recovery window.
After deletion the monitor is no longer returned by the list and its show endpoint returns 404.
The response returns the deleted monitor 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 record may be permanently removed.
A monitor is created active, can be paused and resumed, and is soft-deleted rather than destroyed. It has no archive state.
To keep a monitor visible but stop it running, pause it with Update a monitor 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 monitor pauses a monitor you want to keep. Show a monitor reads it before you delete it. Create a monitor replaces one whose operation must change.
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.
