The 400 error happens because the DELETE /conversations/{conversation_id} endpoint does not expect a request body—sending any data (like your {'user': ...} payload) will cause this error. The API only needs the conversation ID in the URL and the correct Authorization header (Bearer token) for authentication.

To fix this, remove the data argument from your request. Here’s how you should call it:

def delete_conversation(
    self,
    api_key: str,
    base_url: str,
    conversation_id: str,
) -> Tuple[bool, Dict]:
    endpoint = f'/v1/conversations/{conversation_id}'
    return self._make_request(
        method='DELETE',
        endpoint=endpoint,
        api_key=api_key,
        base_url=base_url,
        data=None  # or just omit this argument entirely
    )

Make sure your _make_request method does not send a body for DELETE requests. Only include the Authorization header and the correct endpoint URL. This matches the API’s requirements and will resolve the 400 error you’re seeing (source).

To reply, just mention @dosu.
