    Welcome to Standard Metric's API docs!


    To use our API you will need to make an OAuth appliction (or use an existing
    one) in the developer settings tab on your settings page and then exchange
    your client id and secret for an access token (via the `/o/token/` endpoint.
    This token can then be sent in the `Authorization` header to authenticate
    your requests to our api. See below for an example.


    All endpoints are paginated and will return a maximum of 100 results per
    page. See the endpoints below and example responses for more details on
    pagination parameters. A maximum of 120 requests per minute can be made to
    our API.


    Authentication example (with python):

    ```>>> import base64

    >>> import base64

    >>> client_id = "YOUR_CLIENT_ID"

    >>> client_secret = "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"

    >>> credential = f"{client_id}:{client_secret}"

    >>> base64.b64encode(credential.encode("utf-8"))

    b'ENCODED_CREDENTIAL'


    You can now exchange this credential for an access token, eg:


    curl -X POST \
        -H "Authorization: Basic ENCODED_CREDENTIAL" \
        -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" \
        -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
        "https://api.standardmetrics.io/o/token/" \
        -d "grant_type=client_credentials"

    You will receive the following response:


    {
        "access_token": "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN",
        "expires_in": 36000,
        "token_type": "Bearer",
        "scope": "read write"
    }


    Make sure not to forget to prepend "Bearer " to your access token in the
    Authorization header while making requests.

      summary: Delete a note
      description: >-
        Permanently delete a note using the note ID returned when retrieving
        notes.


        **Notes:**

        - Returns 204 with no body and removes the note from the notes list.

        - PATCH rejects empty content with 400. Use DELETE to remove a note.

        - Invalid IDs return 400; missing, inaccessible, or already-deleted
        notes return 404.

        - Insufficient edit access or ownership returns 403.


        **Permissions:**

        - User must be authenticated via OAuth.

        - User must have access to the company.

        - User must have ADMIN or EDITOR role.

        - User must be the note's author or a firm admin, with the standard
        superuser bypass.

        - Permissions use the token's permission user, not the OAuth
        application's owner.

        - Firm admins can delete other authors' notes but cannot edit their
        content.
