# Delete photos

`POST /projects/{project_id}/photos/delete`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.propertypixel.app/v1`
- URL: `https://api.propertypixel.app/v1/projects/{project_id}/photos/delete`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - OAuth 2 (authorization code, authorization URL `https://llflgtovnkrsjqydycyu.supabase.co/auth/v1/oauth/authorize`, token URL `https://llflgtovnkrsjqydycyu.supabase.co/auth/v1/oauth/token`)

Delete photos from a project, together with every edit and staging made from them and any video that starts with one of them. A Listing Tour that only uses a deleted photo later in its sequence is kept. Only do this when the user explicitly asks to remove those photos; confirm which ones first. All IDs must belong to the project, otherwise nothing is deleted. Returns the deleted IDs; call get_project to see what remains.

Requires a connection with edit access.

## Path parameters

- `project_id` string, uuid, required: The project the photos belong to.

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string: A unique key (for example a UUID) that makes retries safe. A retry with the same key and body returns the stored response; the same key with a different body returns 422. Keys last 24 hours.

## Request body

- object
  - `photo_ids` string[], required: Photo IDs to delete (max 100).

## Response `200`
