API ReferenceTask
Delete a task
Removes a task from a stop.
Removes a task from a stop. The stop itself is not deleted. Avoid deleting tasks that have already been completed (status completed with a scanned barcode or comments) — that data is part of the proof of delivery and is required for traceability.
Authorization
api_key private_key<token>
The Routal API authenticates requests with an API key passed as the private_key query string parameter. Generate and rotate your keys from the Developer Settings section of your Routal workspace.Never ship API keys to a browser or mobile app — they must stay server-side.
