This Python script uses Ben Welsh's python-documentcloud API wrapper (http://datadesk.github.io/python-documentcloud) to delete every document in a specific DocumentCloud.org project. To use, enter in command: line $ pip install python-documentcloud. To execute, type: $ python ./doccloud_delete_docs_in_project.py

doccloud_delete_docs_in_project.py

from documentcloud import DocumentCloud


"""
Delete each document in the specified project
"""

# define your variables
username = "USERNAME_HERE"
password = "PASSWORD_HERE"
project_title = "PROJECT_TITLE_HERE"

# create a client with DocumentCloud.org
client = DocumentCloud(username, password)
# assign the project to a project object
proj_obj = client.projects.get_by_title(project_title)
# assign the document ids to an docs object
docs = proj_obj.document_ids

for doc in docs:
    obj = client.documents.get(doc)
    print obj
    print "deleted" + "\n"
    obj.delete()
