Bulk Delete Transactions

POST
/v1/households/{household_id}/transactions/bulk-delete

Soft-deletes matching transactions and returns the affected transactions. Hidden transactions are eligible; already deleted transactions, split parents, and transactions on deleted accounts are excluded.

Missing or ineligible IDs are skipped, and transaction_not_found is returned only if nothing matches. Data is retained for the bulk-restore endpoint. Compare returned IDs with your request to identify skipped entries.

Authorization

PersonalApiToken
AuthorizationBearer <token>

Use your personal API token (penny_pat_…) as the bearer credential. Enter the token only; the client adds the Bearer prefix. Read-only tokens permit read requests. Read/write tokens remain limited by your current household membership and role. See https://penny.finance/docs/api#authentication for setup.
