DELETE
Delete a biolink
Delete one biolink by its public biq_bio_... ID. The key needs Biolinks: Write with the biolinks.delete permission.
The endpoint accepts no query parameters and no request body.

Successful response

Success returns 204 No Content with an empty response body. This is the standard HTTP response for a completed deletion when there is no resource left to return.
Deleting a biolink removes the page, its page-owned widgets, and its page associations. It does not delete reusable workspace links that were shown on that page.
Treat deletion as permanent through the public API. Retrieve the biolink first if your integration needs to save its current settings for an audit or confirmation screen.
Calling DELETE again with the same ID returns 404 resource_not_found. The endpoint is therefore safe in outcome, but it does not return 204 for an already-missing resource.
