# Archive Batch

You can archive your open batches. This is useful for organizing and filtering various batch statuses via a request with a status query, like `GET /v1/batches?status=open`.

## Example Request

**DELETE /v1/batches/:batch_id**


```http
DELETE /v1/batches/se-1013826 HTTP/1.1
Host: api.shipengine.com
API-Key: __YOUR_API_KEY_HERE__
```

When a batch has successfully been archived, you will receive a response with the **HTTP Status 204, No Content** status.
