Use Cases

Delete test logs

# Delete all test logs after testing
import requests

# First, list test logs
list_response = requests.get(
    "https://api.keywordsai.co/api/request-logs/",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {YOUR_API_KEY}"},
    params={
        "is_test": "true",
        "page_size": 100
    }
)

logs = list_response.json()["results"]

# Delete each test log
for log in logs:
    delete_response = requests.delete(
        f"https://api.keywordsai.co/api/request-logs/{log['unique_id']}/",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {YOUR_API_KEY}"}
    )
    if delete_response.status_code == 204:
        print(f"Deleted log {log['unique_id']}")

Delete logs with sensitive data

# Delete logs containing specific metadata
import requests

# List logs with sensitive flag
list_response = requests.post(
    "https://api.keywordsai.co/api/request-logs/",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {YOUR_API_KEY}"},
    json={
        "filters": {
            "metadata__contains_pii": {
                "operator": "",
                "value": [True]
            }
        }
    }
)

logs = list_response.json()["results"]

# Delete each log
for log in logs:
    requests.delete(
        f"https://api.keywordsai.co/api/request-logs/{log['unique_id']}/",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {YOUR_API_KEY}"}
    )

Bulk delete with confirmation

# Safe bulk delete with confirmation
import requests

def bulk_delete_logs(log_ids, api_key):
    """Delete multiple logs with progress tracking"""
    deleted_count = 0
    failed_count = 0
    
    print(f"Preparing to delete {len(log_ids)} logs...")
    confirmation = input("Type 'DELETE' to confirm: ")
    
    if confirmation != "DELETE":
        print("Deletion cancelled")
        return
    
    for log_id in log_ids:
        response = requests.delete(
            f"https://api.keywordsai.co/api/request-logs/{log_id}/",
            headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}"}
        )
        
        if response.status_code == 204:
            deleted_count += 1
        else:
            failed_count += 1
            print(f"Failed to delete {log_id}: {response.status_code}")
    
    print(f"Deleted: {deleted_count}, Failed: {failed_count}")

# Usage
log_ids_to_delete = ["log_1", "log_2", "log_3"]
bulk_delete_logs(log_ids_to_delete, YOUR_API_KEY)

Best Practices

Before deleting logs:

1. Export important data: Use the export endpoint to backup logs before deletion
2. Verify filters: When bulk deleting, test your filters with the list endpoint first
3. Consider alternatives: For privacy compliance, consider using the blurred field instead of deletion
4. Audit trail: Keep a record of deleted log IDs for compliance purposes
