Bulk archive segments

DELETE
/v1/segments/bulk
curl --request DELETE \
--url https://dev-api.infiniteaudience.ai/v1/segments/bulk \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ "segment_ids": [ "example" ] }'

Archive up to 50 segments in one request by setting status: archived. Deliberately DIVERGES from DELETE /v1/segments/{id}: the single-segment DELETE permanently removes the segment (sets deleted: true behind a SEGMENT_IN_USE impact gate, dropping it out of every referencing audience’s composition), while bulk archive only changes status — archived segments remain fully resolvable by audiences that reference them, so composition integrity is preserved and no impact gate is needed. Fully reversible via PATCH {status: active} (single or bulk). Best-effort per segment: not-found/deleted ids are reported in the failed array; already-archived segments count as success (idempotent). Requires ‘purchase’ scope.

Human-readable explanation of the error.

Alternate machine-readable code — present on some endpoints as an alias for error for backward compatibility.

Missing or invalid Bearer token. Obtain one via POST /v1/auth/token. When a token was supplied but rejected, code distinguishes TOKEN_EXPIRED (the token’s lifetime has passed — request a new one via POST /v1/auth/token and retry) from TOKEN_INVALID (malformed or revoked — re-authenticate).
