Delete Journal Entry

post/extensions/roboledger/{graph_id}/operations/delete-journal-entry

Part of Extensions: RoboLedger.

Hard-delete a draft journal entry. Posted entries are immutable and must be reversed instead.

Idempotency: supply an Idempotency-Key header to make safe retries; replays within 24 hours return the same envelope. Reusing the key with a different body returns HTTP 409 Conflict.

Authentication

Authenticate in any one of these ways — not all of them:

  • API key in the X-API-Key header.
  • Bearer token in the Authorization header.
