--- title: "Delete a brand template" method: POST path: "/brand-templates/delete" tags: ["Brand Templates"] --- # Delete a brand template `POST /brand-templates/delete` ## Request - Base URL: `https://api.reportingninja.com/v1` - URL: `https://api.reportingninja.com/v1/brand-templates/delete` - Auth: HTTP bearer Deletes a brand template of the account. THERE IS NO WAY BACK, AND THE TWO IMAGES GO WITH THE ROW. /v1/brand-templates/create writes a NEW template, with a new key; the logo and the cover image would have to be uploaded again, and every report pointed at the deleted one would have to be pointed at it. That is why this endpoint ALWAYS asks for a confirmation and why its answer carries `before` with every setting, which is what it would take to write it again. IT REFUSES WHILE ANYTHING STILL USES IT: 409 IN_USE, with details.used_by naming what -- `reports`, each with its report_key, its internal name and whether it is in the trash, and `portal_views`, each with its portal_view_key and its name. Reports in the trash count, like everywhere else in this API: one of them still points at the template and would come back pointing at nothing. The account setting that names the brand template new reports are born with is cleared with the row, which is what the application does too. The brand of the platform, under the empty key, answers 409 NOT_ALLOWED with details.reason system_defined. if_version is not accepted. Refusals: 400 for the framework and the body, 403 WRITE_ACCESS_DISABLED, 404 NOT_FOUND when the template is not this account's, 409 IN_USE and 409 NOT_ALLOWED. Every write endpoint reads dry_run and idempotency_key; see the Write guarantees section of the introduction. ## Request body - BrandTemplatesDeleteRequest - `brand_template_key` string, required: The brand template to delete. From /v1/brand-templates/list. The empty key is the brand of the platform and is refused with 409 NOT_ALLOWED. - `dry_run` boolean: Validate everything and write nothing. - `idempotency_key` string: Replays the answer of an identical call for 24 hours. - `confirmation_token` string: The token the first call answered with, to apply the operation. ## Response `200` The call succeeded. This endpoint reports its errors with a real HTTP status, so a 200 always carries status=ok. - BrandTemplatesDeleteResponse: The 200 of this write, in whichever of its shapes the call asked for. - `status` 'ok', required - `data` union, required: The answer of the write. A call sent with dry_run: true answers WriteDryRunData instead, and the call that asks for a confirmation answers WriteConfirmationRequiredData. Those two carry the preview of this operation alongside their own fields, so an answer can match more than one of these shapes. - BrandTemplatesDeleteData: What the brand template was, which is all a deletion can give back. - `brand_template_key` string, required - `before` BrandTemplate, required: Every setting of one brand template. The two images are reported as present or absent and never carried. - `brand_template_key` string, required: The brand template. The empty string is the brand of the platform. - `is_system` boolean, required: Whether this is the brand of the platform rather than one of the account. - `name` string, nullable, required - `internal_notes` string, nullable: A note for the account's own staff. - `font_family` string, nullable: The font of the PDF. - `margin_top` integer, nullable: The top margin of the page, in points. - `margin_bottom` integer, nullable: The bottom margin of the page, in points. - `margin_left` integer, nullable: The left margin of the page, in points. - `margin_right` integer, nullable: The right margin of the page, in points. - `report_title_text_color` string, nullable: The colour of the title of the cover, as #RRGGBB. - `report_title_font_size` integer, nullable: The size of the title of the cover. - `report_title_font_weight` 'normal' | 'bold', nullable: The weight of the title of the cover. - `report_subtitle_text_color` string, nullable: The colour of the subtitle of the cover, as #RRGGBB. - `report_subtitle_font_size` integer, nullable: The size of the subtitle of the cover. - `report_subtitle_font_weight` 'normal' | 'bold', nullable: The weight of the subtitle of the cover. - `section_name_text_color` string, nullable: The colour of the name of a section, as #RRGGBB. - `section_name_font_size` integer, nullable: The size of the name of a section. - `section_name_font_weight` 'normal' | 'bold', nullable: The weight of the name of a section. - `date_range_text_color` string, nullable: The colour of the period line of a section, as #RRGGBB. - `date_range_font_size` integer, nullable: The size of the period line of a section. - `date_range_font_weight` 'normal' | 'bold', nullable: The weight of the period line of a section. - `component_name_text_color` string, nullable: The colour of the name of a widget, as #RRGGBB. - `component_name_font_size` integer, nullable: The size of the name of a widget. - `component_name_font_weight` 'normal' | 'bold', nullable: The weight of the name of a widget. - `footer_text_color` string, nullable: The colour of the footer, as #RRGGBB. - `footer_font_size` integer, nullable: The size of the footer. - `footer_font_weight` 'normal' | 'bold', nullable: The weight of the footer. - `include_logo` boolean: Whether the report prints the logo. - `include_section_line` boolean: Whether a line is drawn under the name of a section. - `section_line_color` string, nullable: The colour of that line, as #RRGGBB. - `component_name_background_color` string, nullable: The background behind the name of a widget, as #RRGGBB. - `component_content_text_color` string, nullable: The colour of the content of a widget, as #RRGGBB. - `component_content_font_size` integer, nullable: The size of the content of a widget. - `colors` string[], required: The palette the charts are drawn with, in order, as #RRGGBB. - `footer_content` string, nullable: The text of the footer. - `include_footer_line` boolean: Whether a line is drawn above the footer. - `footer_line_color` string, nullable: The colour of that line, as #RRGGBB. - `primary_color` string, nullable: The main colour of the brand, as #RRGGBB. - `cover_style` 'gradient' | 'plain' | 'aurora' | 'circles' | 'waves' | 'diagonal' | 'rings' | 'dots' | 'bubbles' | 'contours' | 'blocks' | 'image': The style the front cover is drawn with.

A template that never picked one is read as timeline. - `portal_header_style` 'none' | 'letterhead' | 'card' | 'band': The header the client portal wears. none draws no header and is what a template that never picked one is read as. - `portal_header_logo` boolean: Whether that header carries the logo. - `web_font_family` string: The font of the client portal and of a public link. app_default is the font of the application. - `logo` BrandTemplateImage, required: An image the template carries. The file itself never travels in JSON and it is not read to be measured, so no size is published. - `present` boolean, required: Always true. The whole object is null when there is no image. - `cover_image` BrandTemplateImage, required: An image the template carries. The file itself never travels in JSON and it is not read to be measured, so no size is published. - `present` boolean, required: Always true. The whole object is null when there is no image. - `deleted` boolean: Present on the write. The preview carries permanent instead. - `permanent` boolean: Present on the preview: the deletion has no inverse, and the two images go with the row. - `unfulfilled` Problem[], required - `path` string, required: Dotted path of the offending field inside the request body, empty for a problem about the body as a whole. - `code` 'MISSING_REQUIRED_FIELD' | 'INVALID_VALUE' | 'UNKNOWN_PARAM' | 'INVALID_DATE_RANGE' | 'INTEGRATION_NOT_SUPPORTED' | 'CONNECTION_NOT_FOUND' | 'ACCOUNT_NOT_FOUND' | 'ONE_CONNECTION_PER_INTEGRATION' | 'DATE_PRESET_NOT_IN_REPORTS' | 'TEMPLATE_NOT_FOUND' | 'TEMPLATE_PARAMETERIZED' | 'ROW_RULE' | 'POSITION_CHANGED' | 'SECTION_CHANGED' | 'TOO_MANY_PROBLEMS' | 'DATA_SOURCES_PARTIALLY_BOUND' | 'WELCOME_EMAIL_FAILED' | 'REPORT_WILL_BE_SHARED_PUBLICLY' | 'MAY_BE_DELIVERED_AGAIN_TODAY' | 'SUMMARY_SECTION_SKIPPED' | 'COVER_FILE_REMOVED' | 'COVER_TYPE_SET' | 'LOGO_REMOVED' | 'READ_ONLY_FIELD_IGNORED' | 'AI_BRIEF_NOT_SAVED' | 'SPENDS_AI_CREDITS' | 'DROPS_ACCOUNT_CACHE' | 'CHART_TYPE_NOT_FOR_THIS_SHAPE' | 'CHART_TYPE_NOT_FOR_TREND' | 'CONTENT_NOT_FOR_THIS_SHAPE' | 'FULL_WIDTH_NOT_FOR_KPI' | 'DATA_VIEW_FIELDS_PER_ACCOUNT' | 'DATA_VIEW_NOT_AVAILABLE' | 'DATA_VIEW_NOT_EMPTY' | 'DATA_VIEW_NOT_OF_THE_SECTION' | 'DATA_VIEW_REQUIRED' | 'DATA_VIEW_UNKNOWN' | 'DATE_RANGE_CUSTOM_INCOMPLETE' | 'DATE_RANGE_CUSTOM_INVALID' | 'DATE_RANGE_CUSTOM_INVERTED' | 'DATE_RANGE_PRESET_UNKNOWN' | 'DATE_RANGE_X_REQUIRED' | 'DIMENSION_DUPLICATED' | 'DIMENSION_IS_A_METRIC' | 'DIMENSION_REQUIRED' | 'DIMENSION_UNKNOWN' | 'DSL_INVALID' | 'FIELD_NOT_IN_AD_TYPES' | 'FILTERS_NOT_SUPPORTED' | 'FILTER_COMBINATION_NOT_SUPPORTED' | 'FILTER_CONDITIONS_MIXED_KINDS' | 'FILTER_FIELD_NOT_A_COLUMN' | 'FILTER_FIELD_NOT_IN_DATA_VIEW' | 'FILTER_FIELD_UNKNOWN' | 'FILTER_LIKE_NEEDS_WILDCARD' | 'FILTER_OPERATOR_INVALID' | 'FILTER_TYPE_OF_FIELD_MISMATCH' | 'FILTER_TYPE_OF_FIELD_NOT_USED' | 'FILTER_TYPE_OF_FIELD_REQUIRED' | 'FILTER_VALUE_EMPTY' | 'FILTER_VALUE_NOT_ALLOWED' | 'FILTER_VALUE_NOT_NUMERIC' | 'GRAPH_EXTRA_DIMENSIONS' | 'GRAPH_TIME_DIMENSION_MIXED' | 'INTEGRATION_UNKNOWN' | 'INTENT_MISSING' | 'KPI_NEEDS_ONE_METRIC' | 'KPI_TAKES_NO_DIMENSIONS' | 'LIMIT_IGNORED_IN_TREND' | 'LIMIT_OUT_OF_RANGE' | 'METRICS_SUMMARY_TAKES_NO_DIMENSIONS' | 'METRIC_DUPLICATED' | 'METRIC_IS_A_DIMENSION' | 'METRIC_UNKNOWN' | 'METRICS_REQUIRED' | 'NAME_EMPTY' | 'NAME_NOT_PLAIN_TEXT' | 'NAME_TOO_LONG' | 'PIE_TAKES_ONE_DIMENSION' | 'PREVIOUS_PERIOD_NOT_AVAILABLE_FOR_THIS_TABLE' | 'COMPARISON_NOT_AVAILABLE_FOR_THIS_WIDGET' | 'PREVIOUS_PERIOD_NOT_FOR_THIS_SHAPE' | 'SHOW_CHANGE_NOT_FOR_THIS_SHAPE' | 'SHOW_CHANGE_NEEDS_PREVIOUS_PERIOD' | 'SETTING_DUPLICATED' | 'SETTING_NOT_FOR_DATA_VIEW' | 'SETTING_NOT_IN_WIDGET' | 'SETTING_UNKNOWN' | 'SETTING_VALUE_INVALID' | 'SORT_FIELD_NOT_SELECTED' | 'TABLE_TIME_DIMENSION_NOT_DRAWABLE' | 'TEXT_CONTENT_REQUIRED' | 'TEXT_CONTENT_TOO_LONG' | 'TEXT_NOT_A_WIDGET_TYPE' | 'TEXT_TAKES_NO_DATA' | 'TOO_MANY_DIMENSIONS' | 'TOO_MANY_METRICS' | 'TRANSLATION_FAILED' | 'TREND_ORDER_IS_THE_TIME_AXIS' | 'TREND_TAKES_NO_DIMENSIONS' | 'VISUALIZATION_NOT_AVAILABLE' | 'VISUALIZATION_NOT_OF_REQUESTED_TYPE' | 'FIELD_NOT_AVAILABLE' | 'FILTER_CONDITIONS_MIXED_LEVELS' | 'FILTER_LEVEL_MISMATCH' | 'FORMULA_TOKEN_UNKNOWN' | 'FORMULA_INVALID' | 'LANGUAGE_FILE_KEYS_IGNORED' | 'SELECTION_EMPTY' | 'FILTER_KEY_AND_FILTERS' | 'FILTER_KEY_NOT_FOR_THIS_SHAPE' | 'KEY_NOT_FOR_GENERATION' | 'COMPARE_NOT_FOR_THIS_SHAPE' | 'COMPARE_NOT_FOR_INTEGRATION' | 'COMPARE_ITEMS_CARDINALITY' | 'COMPARE_METRICS_CARDINALITY' | 'COMPARE_OVER_TIME_NOT_AVAILABLE' | 'COMPARE_METRIC_HAS_NO_BREAKDOWN' | 'COMPARE_KEY_NOT_FOR_THIS_COMPARATOR' | 'COMPARATOR_CLASS_FIXED', required: What is wrong with that field, or what is worth knowing about it.

Not stable across versions. - `suggestions` string[]: The accepted values, when the field takes a closed list. - WriteDryRunData: The answer of a call sent with dry_run: true. Nothing was written, no idempotency key was consumed and no confirmation token was burnt. When valid is true, the fields of the endpoint's own preview travel alongside these two; when it is false, `message` and `problems` do instead. The HTTP status is 200 in both cases: a rehearsal that says the body is wrong is a successful rehearsal. Two refusals are NOT translated and arrive with their real status: a 429 (the budgets are spent either way) and any 5xx. - `dry_run` true, required: Always true in this shape. - `valid` boolean, required: Whether the body would be accepted. - `message` string: Why the body would be refused.

The first group is the vocabulary of the body itself; the eleven that follow it appear only in `warnings[]`, bar TOO_MANY_PROBLEMS, which closes a `problems` list that was truncated; and the rest are the codes of the widget DSL, which travel here when a composition or a widget carries a dsl that does not validate. - `message` string, required: Human-readable explanation. Not stable across versions. - `suggestions` string[]: The accepted values, when the field takes a closed list. - WriteConfirmationRequiredData: The answer of the first call to an endpoint that asks for a confirmation. Nothing was written. The fields of the endpoint's own preview travel alongside these three, so the caller can show what is about to happen. The token is good for one use, for this account, this endpoint and this exact body. - `confirmation_required` true, required: Always true in this shape. - `confirmation_token` string, required: Send the same body again with this token to perform the write. - `expires_at` string, date-time, required: When the token stops being accepted, 10 minutes after it was issued. - `meta` WriteMeta, required: The meta of a write answer. A replay carries two extra fields so it can be told apart from a first call and still traced back to it. - `request_id` string, required: Id of THIS request, including on a replay. - `timestamp` string, date-time, required - `replayed` boolean: True when this answer is the stored answer of an earlier call with the same idempotency_key and the same body. Absent on a first call. - `replayed_from_request_id` string, nullable: The request_id of the call that actually did the work. Present only on a replay, and null when the stored answer carried no id. ## Other responses - `400`: The request was refused before anything was written. INVALID_REQUEST covers the framework refusals of every endpoint (the Content-Type is not application/json, the body could not be read, the body is not valid JSON). The report endpoints add their own: VALIDATION_FAILED with details.problems, UNKNOWN_PARAM with the path of the field the endpoint does not read, and the single-field refusals MISSING_REQUIRED_FIELD, INVALID_VALUE and APPEND_NOT_ALLOWED. The description of each operation lists the ones it emits. Everything else a body can get wrong arrives as an entry of details.problems rather than as the code of the envelope. - `401`: Invalid or missing Bearer token. - `403`: The account may not perform this write. WRITE_ACCESS_DISABLED means write access has not been enabled for the API key in the REST API tab of the app. PLAN_LIMIT_REACHED means the plan has no room left for another report or template, and is emitted only by the endpoints that create one. - `404`: A key of the request does not name anything this account owns. NOT_FOUND covers reports, sections, widgets, schedules, portal views, brand templates, email templates and language files; TEMPLATE_NOT_FOUND covers a catalog slug, version or section position that stopped being published between the validation and the write. An entity of another account is reported the same way as one that does not exist. - `409`: The request is well formed and the current state does not allow it. Every write can answer IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT (the same idempotency_key with a different body) and IDEMPOTENCY_IN_PROGRESS (an identical call is running, with a Retry-After). The endpoints that ask for a confirmation add CONFIRMATION_EXPIRED and CONFIRMATION_MISMATCH; the ones that never confirm cannot answer either. Each operation lists the domain conflicts it adds on top of those. - `413`: The request body is over 1 MB. The cap is applied before authentication, so this answer is refused without the key being read, and it carries the usual error envelope. - `429`: A budget was spent. RATE_LIMITED is the per-key read budget (300/minute, 5000/day) or the per-account write budget (60/minute, 1000/day). EMAIL_QUOTA_REACHED is the separate budget of 50 calls per account per day that send email, and its Retry-After points at the next UTC midnight. The Retry-After header gives the seconds until the more restrictive window resets. The X-RateLimit-* headers report the read budget, except on the 429 of a write, where they report the write budget. - `500`: Internal server error. - `503`: Writes are paused, or the store the write guarantees rely on is not answering. Nothing was written and the call is worth retrying later. Reads are unaffected. --- [API](https://skmtc.dev/reportingninja/apis/reporting-ninja-api.md) · [All operations](https://skmtc.dev/reportingninja/apis/reporting-ninja-api/llms.txt) · [OpenAPI document](https://skmtc.dev/reportingninja/apis/reporting-ninja-api/revisions/13876c71be34?raw)
