• The response returns the target object or a deletion state with in_trash: true.
• Use the corresponding update endpoint when you need to explicitly set trash state as part of a larger update.

Errors

• 401 unauthorized: invalid or expired token.
• 403 forbidden: missing scope or no access.
• 404 not_found: target resource does not exist.
