# Remove the link between two documents

`DELETE /api/v1/rest/documents/{id}/links/{linked_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.custodo.ai`
- URL: `https://api.custodo.ai/api/v1/rest/documents/{id}/links/{linked_id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Takes back the statement that two documents go together, whoever made it — a person or Custodo. Both documents stay exactly as they are; only the connection goes, and re-linking means calling documents_link again. Links that other modules hold (a task’s attachment, an envelope’s document) are not documents links and are changed in their own module. Ask the user to confirm.

**Examples**

- That certificate is not this contract’s — unlink them
  `DELETE /api/v1/rest/documents/11111111-2222-4333-8444-555555555555/links/22222222-3333-4444-8555-666666666666`

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required
- `linked_id` string, uuid, required

## Headers

- `X-Tenant-Id` string, uuid

## Response `200`

Done. `data` is the tool’s own answer.

- RestResult
  - `ok` true, required
  - `data` unknown, required

## Other responses

- `400`: The arguments did not validate: `error.message` names the field, what it expects and what arrived.
- `401`: No API key, or one that is malformed, unknown, revoked or expired.
- `403`: The call never ran: the module is off for this organisation, the credential lacks the permission or the module, the tier does not cover it, or the tool is destructive and the key was not minted for that.
- `404`: Nothing with that id in this organisation.
- `409`: The record is in a state that does not allow it — under legal hold, already sent, already closed. `error.code` says which.
- `422`: The tool ran and refused, in a sentence of its own (`TOOL_REFUSED`): the message says what to change. Retrying the same call will not help.
- `429`: The API key has spent its minute, or its day. Every request a key makes counts. See `Retry-After`.
