Quick Start

Get to your first deletion request in minutes.

1) Create workspaces

In Settings → Workspaces, Add Workspace

2) Connect an integration

Go to Integrations in the app, choose an integration type (e.g., Postgres, Mixpanel), and authenticate using an Account (API key, OAuth, or DB credentials).

3) Create API credentials

  • In Settings → Workspaces, copy your Workspace API Key
  • In Settings → Users, create a Personal Access Token (PAT)

4) Send your first deletion request

You can create a deletion request from the dashboard by going to Requests → Create Request

Or you can use the API to create a deletion request

Example using cURL:

curl -X POST https://app.forgetapi.com/api/public/deletion-requests \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "X-API-Key: <YOUR_PAT>" \ -d '{ "workspaceApiKey": "<YOUR_WORKSPACE_API_KEY>", "identifier": "user_123@example.com" }'

5) Monitor and audit

Track progress in the dashboard. Integration request-level statuses and audit logs are recorded automatically.

That’s it. You’re set up.
