# Delete a finished TTS job and its audio

Deletes a completed or failed API job of this key's workspace, with its audio, whichever key created it. A job still in progress answers 400; a job of another workspace answers 404. Needs Text to Speech access on the key.

## Endpoint

`DELETE https://api.echonova.ai/v1/text-to-speech/jobs/{jobId}`

## Authentication

Keys are created in the portal under Developers, sent as `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`. See [Get an API key](/docs/developers/get-an-api-key).
