Hello everyone!

I have this question because we would like to delete about 5000 responses daily. But in the documentation I can only find the process to delete A response: https://api.qualtrics.com/api-reference/reference/singleResponses.json/paths/~1surveys~1%7BsurveyId%7D~1responses~1%7BresponseId%7D/delete

How could this process be modified so we can delete several responses per day?
Thanks!

As far as I know, it's not possible since it's not in the API. What you could try doing is collecting the 5000 responses to delete into a list and then loop through each one, deleting each one. May take a while, but it's an option.
