Security Settings

Encrypted Transmission

When the Secure Data Transmission option is enabled, requests and responses are encrypted with AES-256.

Encryption method: AES-256
Coverage: Request and response data
Compatibility: Same encryption/decryption method as POST/submission, PATCH/submission, GET/submission
Secure Data Transfer Options

Data Security

Deleted token data is completely removed and cannot be recovered. In secure data transmission, the deletion process also proceeds with encryption.

Authentication

x-api-key

string

required

Set your project API key.

Content-Type

string

Set the MIME type of the request body.

When using Content-Type: application/json for DELETE requests, if an error occurs, use text/plain instead.

x-api-key: {{YOUR_API_KEY}}
Content-Type: text/plain

Token Deletion Types

tokenId specified deletion

Delete specific tokenId (maximum 500 per request)

Time-based N deletion

Delete N tokens based on submission order and count (maximum 5,000 per request)

Token Policy

Limitations

Request limit: Maximum 5,000 token IDs per request Pool limit: Maximum 100,000 tokens managed per PID

Partial Handling

DELETE requests are processed partially for token IDs. Token IDs that do not exist in the pool are indicated in the ‘notFound’ field of the response, and only existing token IDs are deleted.

Example:

Token IDs existing in pool: tokenA, tokenB, tokenC
DELETE request: tokenA, tokenC, tokenD
Pool after request completion: tokenB
Response details.notFound: [tokenD]

Security Considerations

Complete Data Deletion

Tokens deleted in private mode are completely removed in an encrypted state and cannot be recovered.

Secure deletion: Complete removal from database
Encryption processing: AES-256/GCM-256 encryption applied to deletion process as well
Audit logs: Deletion operation records maintained (excluding token contents)

Access Control

Deletion permissions are controlled through API keys. Special care is required in API key management.

Usage Examples

Check tokens to delete

Verify if tokens exist before deletion.

curl -X GET 'https://rest-api.argosidentity.com/v3/submission/tokens?tokenId=user001a' \
  -H 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY'

If the token exists, detailed information will be returned.

Execute token deletion

Delete the verified tokens. Types: token specified deletion, time-based token deletion

Show Token specified deletion

curl -X DELETE 'https://rest-api.argosidentity.com/v3/submission/tokens' \
  -H 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: text/plain' \
  -d '{"tokenId": ["user001a", "api.key.01"]}'

Show Time-based token deletion

curl -X DELETE 'https://rest-api.argosidentity.com/v3/submission/tokens' \
  -H 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: text/plain' \
  -d '{"count": 5000, "order": "asc"}'

Deletion is executed immediately and cannot be undone.

Check deletion results

Verify the deletion results in the response.

You can check the number of successfully deleted tokens in the summary.deleted field.

During bulk deletion, even if non-existent tokens are included, only existing tokens are selectively deleted. You can check the list of non-existent tokens in details.notFound.

Content-Type Notice: For DELETE requests, when using Content-Type: application/json causes an error, set the header to text/plain instead.
