# Delete all chunks for a document

> Removes all chunks for the given document. Useful before re-uploading
updated chunks from an external system.




## OpenAPI

````yaml delete /v1/agents/{agentId}/knowledge-base/{documentId}/chunks
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: TalkPilot API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    The TalkPilot API allows you to programmatically manage your call center
    agents,

    employees, forwarding slots, knowledge base, and more.


    ## Authentication


    All API requests require an API key passed via the `X-API-Key` header:


    ```

    X-API-Key: tp_live_abc123def456...

    ```


    An API key can reach every organization its creator is a member of (see

    `GET /v1/organization`) and can be restricted to specific agents and
    permissions.

    Create and manage keys in the TalkPilot Dashboard under **Settings > API**

    (Dev-Admin only).


    ## Rate Limiting


    Default limits per API key: **60 requests/minute** and **1,000
    requests/hour**

    (both enforced, both configurable per key).


    Rate limit headers are included in every response to a request authenticated

    with an API key (Dashboard JWT requests are not rate limited):

    - `X-RateLimit-Limit` — Max requests per minute

    - `X-RateLimit-Remaining` — Remaining requests in the current minute window

    - `X-RateLimit-Reset` — Unix timestamp roughly 60 seconds in the future


    When rate limited, the API returns `429 Too Many Requests` with
    `Retry-After: 60`

    (minute window) or `Retry-After: 3600` (hour window).


    ## Pagination


    List endpoints support pagination via query parameters:

    - `page` — Page number (default: 1)

    - `limit` — Items per page (default: 20, max: 100)


    Paginated responses include a `pagination` object with `page`, `limit`,
    `total`, and `pages`.


    ## Error Format


    All errors follow a consistent format:


    ```json

    {
      "error": {
        "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
        "message": "Human-readable description",
        "details": [{ "field": "name", "message": "Required" }],
        "request_id": "req_abc123"
      }
    }

    ```
