Script to remove animation from a specific bone instead of the armature using script

Question

I found a way to point to bones in an armature

import bpy

armature = bpy.data.armatures["Armature"]
for bone in armature.bones:
    print(bone.name)

Here I want to check for names of bones and if those name match then I am looking to remove all the animation from that bone including all Scale , Location and Quaternion Rotation.

Thanks in Advance

As batFINGER suggested in his comment. This can be done using bpy.ops.anim.keyframe_clear_v3d(). To do this in python you need to select the bone first then apply the operation. Below is a script to delete animation of a specific bone, in this example, a bone named 'Bone' will have its animation deleted:

import bpy

arm = bpy.data.objects['Armature']
bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='POSE')
bpy.ops.object.select_all(action='DESELECT')
arm.select = True
bpy.context.scene.objects.active = arm

bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='POSE')

bpy.ops.pose.select_all(action='DESELECT')

for pb in arm.pose.bones:
    if pb.name == 'Bone':
        arm.data.bones[pb.name].select = True
        bpy.ops.anim.keyframe_clear_v3d()
bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='OBJECT')
