Hi, I’m having issues with the following api when testing on Postman:

`/crm/v4/associations/{fromObjectType}/{toObjectType}/batch/labels/archive`

So, I having issues with removing an association label from a custom created association. I’m using the apiRequest method to call the api.

```lia-code-sample
await hubSpotClient
 .apiRequest({
 method: 'POST',
 path: `/crm/v4/associations/${customObjectTypeId}/${contactObjectTypeId)}/batch/labels/archive`,
 headers: {
 accept: 'application/json',
 authorization: `Bearer ${auth}`,
 },
 body: {
 associationCategory: 'USER_DEFINED',
 associationTypeId: associationTypeId,
 fromObjectId: customObjectId,
 toObjectId: contactId,
 },
 })

```

The api call brings back a 204 response, but when I check on Hubspot the label hasn’t been removed. I also tried testing on Postman and got the same result. A 204 response and the label not being removed.

authorization: `Bearer ${auth}`,  
},  
body: {

Hi @SNgantweni

I think you should use the “PUT” method

for example

Example PUT URL:  
[https://api.hubapi.com/crm-associations/v1/associations/delete](https://api.hubapi.com/crm-associations/v1/associations/delete)

Example PUT JSON, removing the association from a contact with vid 25 to a ticket with ID 100:  
{  
“fromObjectId”: 25,  
“toObjectId”: 100,  
“category”: “HUBSPOT\_DEFINED”,  
“definitionId”: 15  
}

Returns a 204 No Content response on success.
