# Delete VAST progress events — placement

`DELETE https://YOUR-NETWORK-DOMAIN/rest-api/placement/{id}/vast/progress-events.do`

Permanently deletes one or more VAST progress events by their IDs for the specified entity. The request body must contain a JSON array of numeric event IDs to delete (obtainable from the GET progress-events endpoint). The caller must have update permissions on the entity. Returns a JSON object with a 'success' boolean indicating whether the deletion succeeded.

## Path params

| Name | Type | Required | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `id` | integer | yes | `5001` | The unique numeric identifier of the entity to delete progress events from |

## Body

A JSON body. An example, built from the field definitions:

```json
[
  1
]
```

## Responses

- `200` — VAST progress events deleted successfully
- `400` — Entity is not a video placement
- `401` — Authentication error
- `403` — Not enough permissions
- `404` — One of the ids is not a progress event of this entity; the message names it and nothing is deleted
