Introduction
When there is a need to delete a agency number within a specific account or broker via the Thinksurance Public API V1.1, from now on referred to as "the API," a dedicated endpoint facilitates this capability. This endpoint is accessible at the path /api/ipn/agency-numbers. It anticipates a comprehensive payload as part of the HTTP request, encompassing the requisite broker data.
Endpoint
To add a new agency number via the API, it is necessary to send an HTTP DELETE request to the endpoint /api/ipn/agency-numbers. The main part of the HTTP request is a JSON payload of the request body.

externalInsurerId | string | optional4 | reference ID for insurer in an external system such as CRM system. For some CRMs it is important that the agencyNumber is associated with the right insurer Reference. This ID is also returned in our responses (such as IPN) for the external system to insure referential integrity. Normally this should not be used together with the externalUniqueID |
externalUniqueId | string | optional4 | unique ID for the agencyNumber entry in an external system such as the CRM. This field will be returned in our response to make sure the applied agency number can be mapped back to the original entity. This number must be unique accross account/broker and cannot be used twice. |
