When you define the object relationships, you can actually edit the relationship and change the delete mode. Sounds like you want to set yours to be a cascading delete.

Then, in REST, you’re just going to use the DELETE method that you can find under `/o/api` and your specific Object API.

By deleting the primary object with cascading delete set, that will delete the object entry and all related entries.
