POST
Delete a source segment and its translated counterparts through the coordinated segment operation. Supply the current segmentStructureRevision from projects_get.

Authentication and permissions

string
required
Send a VoiceCheap API key in this header. Authorization: Bearer with the same API key is also supported. OAuth access tokens are accepted only by MCP, not by this REST endpoint.
Required permissions: transcription:write. An active paid subscription is required. Permissions do not change team roles, resource ownership, media credits, or plan limits.

Parameters

string
required
Text value.Minimum length: 1. Maximum length: 200. Pattern: ^[^/\\]+$.
integer
required
Integer value.Minimum: 0. Maximum: 9007199254740991.
integer
required
Integer value.Minimum: 0. Maximum: 9007199254740991.
string
Optional at the transport boundary: the server injects an identifier before validation when omitted. Supply your own stable UUID v4 to recover safely from a lost response.Format: “uuid”. Pattern: ^[0-9a-fA-F]{8}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-4[0-9a-fA-F]{3}-[89abAB][0-9a-fA-F]{3}-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}$.
object
JSON object. See the complete input schema for its nested fields.
The JSON Schema below preserves the exact field names, nested types, defaults, bounds, and accepted values exposed by discovery. Additional cross-field rules are listed in the operation notes.

Idempotency

Use a UUID v4 in requestId or the Idempotency-Key HTTP header for each mutation. Reuse the same identifier and identical arguments after a network failure. If both are supplied, they must match. Replaying a saved request does not repeat the operation or charge another monthly call. Failed or interrupted requests are not restarted automatically. Every mutation can return HTTP 202 when a retry finds the same request still running, even when its first execution is normally synchronous. If execution completed but resultStored is false, a retry returns HTTP 200 with saved request state instead of the original result. Retrieve the output through its domain history, result, or download action.

Request examples

Replace example resource identifiers and media keys with values returned for your account. Keep the request identifier stable when retrying the same mutation.

Response

A successful first execution returns HTTP 200 with the operation result under data. A replay may return saved request state instead. The example shows one supported response, not every optional field. Returns the current project structure revision, speaker count and source segment count after coordinated deletion.

Result fields

Recover and poll this request

Use the same identifier even after a lost connection. If resultStored is false, retrieve the output through the corresponding history, result, or download action. Never start a second generation merely to check progress.
HTTP 200

Operation notes

  • Read projects_get.segmentStructureRevision immediately before this action and send it as expectedSegmentStructureRevision. Do not substitute segment_actions_list.revision.
  • Deletes the selected source segment and matching translated counterparts, then reindexes following segments. The only remaining source segment cannot be deleted.
  • translationTimeSkipRange is optional. When supplied, startTime, endTime and duration are seconds, endTime must exceed startTime, and duration must equal their difference within 0.001 seconds. This also applies the normal skipped-audio constraints.
  • This is a direct structural mutation, not a queued text edit. After success, refresh projects_get, transcripts_get and language works before using segment indexes again.
  • The result intentionally omits the raw project, works and deleted segment documents returned by internal services.

Usage

Each successful invocation consumes one monthly API/MCP call. Media credits and the operation’s own generation allowances also apply.
