# Delete API

The **Delete API** in XperienceHR provides an interface for deleting projects, customers, and employees, along with all associated data, ensuring seamless integration with external systems for data management and cleanup.

This API supports **XML & JSON format** for structured data exchange and requires authentication via an **API key**.

By integrating the Delete API, organizations can efficiently manage and remove outdated or unnecessary data, ensuring the system remains clean and up-to-date.

# Overview

**API Type:** REST
**Supported Formats:** XML
**API Key:** Generated in the app configuration
**Method:** *POST*
---

# Delete Functionality

**Functionality:**
* Delete Project
* Delete Customer
* Delete Employee

The Delete API allows you to remove projects, customers, and employees, along with all linked data, from the system. When deleting a project, all associated data is removed, including:
* Time and attendance records
* All subprojects
* Project roles structure configuration

**Special Considerations:**
* If a project is assigned to an employee with Exception-based Time Tracking, the system will attempt to assign a different random project to the employee. If no other project exists, the deletion operation will fail, and the project will not be deleted.
* The same logic applies if the project is used as the default project for attendance time clock.
