# Tag API - Delete

Use this endpoint to delete a tag from your account.

---

## Endpoint

```
DELETE https://e1.envoke.com/v2/tags/{ID}
```

Replace `{ID}` with the Envoke tag ID you want to delete. Authentication is via HTTP Basic Auth using your API ID and API Key.

---

## Important

**Deletion is permanent.** Deleting a tag removes the tag record and all contact-to-tag associations. Contacts assigned to the deleted tag are not deleted — they remain in your account and simply lose their assignment to this tag. The deletion cannot be undone via the API.

---

## Response

On success:

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "result_text": "Deleted",
  "result_data": []
}
```

If the tag ID is not found:

```json
{
  "success": false,
  "result_text": "Validation failed, see 'result_data' -> 'errors'",
  "result_data": {
    "errors": ["Item with id '999999' not found"]
  }
}
```

---

## Example

```bash
curl -X DELETE -gs \
  -u "$API_ID:$API_KEY" \
  "https://e1.envoke.com/v2/tags/42"
```

Replace `42` with the ID of the tag you want to delete, and substitute your actual API ID and API Key.
