# Detach Shipments from Appointment

> Remove one or more shipments from an appointment

Remove one or more shipments from this appointment. Silently ignores shipments that are not
currently linked. Mirror of [Detach Appointments from
Shipment](/api/shipments/detach-appointments-from-shipment).

Same mutation rule as attach: the link can be removed when EITHER the appointment is past
blood-draw, or the shipment was created less than 24 hours ago.

## Request

### Path parameters

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>
  Appointment UUID.
</ParamField>

### Body parameters

<ParamField body="shipment_ids" type="string[]" required>
  Array of shipment reference IDs to detach. Must contain at least one item.
</ParamField>

## Response

On success, the API returns `200 OK` with the full shipment list for the appointment, ordered
newest-first by creation. Each entry has the same shape as [Get
Shipment](/api/shipments/get-shipment).
