Delete the tag identified by `tagId`. The operation also removes the tag from every contact in the selected Instagram account. Your API key needs the `contacts:write` scope. Pass the account UUID as the required `account_id` query parameter. The account and tag must be accessible to the key. ```bash theme={null} curl --request DELETE \ --url "https://levios.app/api/v1/contact-tags/${LEVIOS_TAG_ID}?account_id=${LEVIOS_ACCOUNT_ID}" \ --header "Authorization: Bearer ${LEVIOS_API_KEY}" ``` A successful request returns `204` with no response body. ## Delete restrictions The API returns `api_contact_tag_in_use` when an automation configuration references the tag. Remove or replace those references before deleting it. The resulting state is idempotent. After the tag is deleted, another request for the same `tagId` can return `api_contact_tag_not_found`. If the API returns `api_contact_tag_response_unavailable` with `committed: true` and `retryable: false`, the tag changed but the response could not be verified. Do not retry automatically. List the current tag catalog first. ## OpenAPI ````yaml openapi/v1.json DELETE /api/v1/contact-tags/{tagId} openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: levios public API version: '1' servers: - url: https://levios.app security: -
