# Remove strings from job

`POST /jobs-api/v3/projects/{projectId}/jobs/{translationJobUid}/strings/remove`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.smartling.com`
- URL: `https://api.smartling.com/jobs-api/v3/projects/{projectId}/jobs/{translationJobUid}/strings/remove`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Remove strings from a job. Any strings removed from the job will also be unauthorized within Smartling.

If strings are successfully removed from a job, a `200` status will be returned. When the system can't quickly add the strings to the job, a `202` response is returned. The response contains a link to check the progress of the request. When a `202` is received, the process of removing the content from the job will not be complete until the returned process has completed.

## Path parameters

- `projectId` string, required: Unique identifier of a Smartling project — 9 lowercase alphanumeric characters.
- `translationJobUid` string, required: Translation job unique identifier — 12 lowercase alphanumeric characters.

## Request body

- RemoveStringsJobRequest: The payload to use when removing strings from a job.
  - `hashcodes` Hashcode[]: The hashcodes (string identifiers) that should be removed from the job.
  - `localeIds` LocaleId[]: (Optional) The array of `localeId`s that the strings should be removed from. If not specified, the strings will be removed from all locales within that job.

## Response `200`

OK

- SuccessFailCountJobResponse
  - `response` object, required
    - `code` 'SUCCESS', required: Indicates whether the response was successful or what error has occurred.
    - `data` object
