How do I keep generated documents in the EU and delete them after?

​

Steps

1. Store your API key in DOCONDA_API_KEY and install the SDK (pip install doconda or npm install @doconda/sdk).
2. Create the document with the shortest retention that works for you.
3. Download it and delete it, along with any files you uploaded.

from pathlib import Path
from doconda import Doconda

doconda = Doconda()  # reads the key from DOCONDA_API_KEY
doc = doconda.documents.create(
    format="docx",
    content={"markdown": "# Internal note\n\nMonday's meeting moves to 10:00."},
    retention="none",
)
Path("note.docx").write_bytes(doconda.documents.download(doc["id"], "docx"))
doconda.documents.delete(doc["id"])

import { writeFile } from "node:fs/promises"
import { Doconda } from "@doconda/sdk"

const doconda = new Doconda()
const doc = await doconda.documents.create({
  format: "docx",
  content: { markdown: "# Internal note\n\nMonday's meeting moves to 10:00." },
  retention: "none",
})
await writeFile("note.docx", await doconda.documents.download(doc.id, "docx"))
await doconda.documents.delete(doc.id)

Which values retention accepts

​

What you get back

• The document has retention and expires_at: when its content will be deleted (set when it finishes).
• Once deleted, the document shows content_deleted_at, and /report and /events answer 410 content_deleted.
• The files (Word, PDF, images), your request, the report, the events and the metadata are deleted. Only what’s needed for billing remains: status, format, type, pages and cost.

​

Limits

• An artifact with retention: "none" can’t store shared data: it keeps it in each visitor’s browser.
• Download links expire after 5 minutes; documents.outputs(id) gives you new ones while the document exists.
