📘
The request object must include a single property: items_to_update (a list of Item IDs to delete, passed as numbers).
These items can belong to different campaigns under your account.

🚧
Guidelines

To bulk delete items use the DELETE verb.

Limit each request to a maximum of 200 items.

By default, if the delete operation fails for 1 item, then no items will be deleted. To override this behavior, pass is_atomic=false.

The endpoint supports both regular items and motion ads. You can also mix both ad types in the same request.

Deleted items have a status of STOPPED. Any attempt to reference that Item ID will return 404 Not Found.

🚧
The network account
You can use a network account to delete items across the network: DELETE backstage/api/1.0/{network-account}/items/bulk
For more information about the network account see: Network Accounts.
