Remove a collection from its account. Its notebooks are not deleted: they stay on the account, outside this collection. To delete a notebook itself use DELETE /notebooks/notebook.

https://api.useapi.net/v1/gemini-notebook/collections/collection

  • collection is required, the collection id from GET /collections or POST /collections, URL-encoded in the path (it contains : and @). The id names its account, so no email is needed.

  • 596 Account Error

    Google reported the account as signed out. While we re-check it, the answer is the first message below. Retry in about a minute. If it stays signed out, the account is paused, you receive an email, and the answer becomes the second message until you re-add it via Setup Gemini Notebook.

    {
  "error": "Google reported this account as signed out. We are re-checking it — please retry in about a minute. If it stays signed out, you will receive a re-add email.",
  "code": 596

  "error": "Account [email protected]: Google signed this account out. Re-add it at https://useapi.net/docs/start-here/setup-gemini-notebook",
  "code": 596
}

  • 503 Service Unavailable

    Google is temporarily unavailable or is challenging our network. Retry in a few minutes. A 502 means Google answered with an unexpected error.

    {
  "error": "GOOGLE_BOT_CHECK: Google is challenging our network right now, please retry in a few minutes",
  "code": 503
}
