The API documents this but from a spot check I'm not sure when you'd get a response with deleted: false. For non-deleted items the deleted: key is simply absent (null). I suppose the data model can assume this is a not-null field with a default value of false but that doesn't feel right to me. I might handle that case in cleaning but I wouldn't do it in the extract.
