DELETE /api/apis/versions/{APIVersionID}/legals/{LegalDocumentID}

Deletes the association between a specific legal agreement document and an API version.

Associating a legal document with an API version is a two-step process: first you upload and publish the document, using the Content service (see POST /content/{path}), and then you associate the document with the API version using POST /api/apis/versions/{APIVersionID}/legals.

Similarly, in reversing the process, you must first delete the association between the API version and the legal agreement, using this operation. You can then delete the document using the Content API (see POST /content/delete).

If you don't have the LegalDocumentID, you could run the GET /api/apis/versions/{APIVersionID}/legals operation which includes this information in the response.

Note: Once a legal agreement is active it's best to keep it unless you're sure you don't need the information on user acceptance of the agreement, or already have the data. Once a legal agreement is active, and apps are using your API, it's safer to leave the agreement in place even if it's currently inactive and/or has been superseded by later versions. If you think users have already accepted the agreement but you need to go ahead with deleting it, call Akana Technical Support for a script to retrieve the user acceptance information from the database.

For more information about managing legal agreements for your API, see Managing Legal Agreements on the Platform.
