# Remove companies, or delete the list

> Removes some companies from your company list: send them in the body (same formats as adding), or as query values like `?domain=example.com&domain=example.org`. `?all=true` deletes the whole list, and lanes then use their industry filters alone.

**Free.** This doesn't use any contacts from your plan.

  title: Intent Leads API
  version: '1.0'
  description: >-
    The Intent Leads API finds B2B people actively researching the topics you
    sell into, and exports them with contact details into your own tools.


    **Authentication.** Send an API key as a bearer token: `Authorization:
    Bearer il_live_…`. Keys belong to one organization. Standard keys work with
    everything except billing, team and key management, which need an admin key.


    **What costs contacts.** Only `POST /api/v1/exports` with `"dry_run": false`
    uses contacts from your plan. Quotes, counts, checks, samples and
    re-downloads are free.


    **Errors.** Every error is JSON: `{"error": "code", "message":
    "Plain-English explanation"}`. Codes are stable; messages may change.


    **Conventions.** JSON by default. Dates are `YYYY-MM-DD` and timestamps ISO
    8601, all in UTC. Lane codes (`L1`) are case-insensitive.
