Check the documentation for the correct format. You cannot delete individual points, you can delete all data in a channel or delete the channel itself.
Create Channel Create new channel with HTTP POST
Clear Channel Clear all data from channel with HTTP DELETE
Delete Channel Delete channel with HTTP DELETE
Hi I followed exactly the Postman example and i always get: { "status": "401", "error": { "error_code": "error_auth_required", "message": "Authorization Required", "details": "Please provide proper authentication details." } }
If i change 'Delete' to 'Get' in POSTMAN is works perfectly... And i am wanting to delete all the data in the channel. I cannot delete the channel.
Please note that channel operations require the user API key, not the channel API key. Using the channel API key for a delete operation would lead to a 401. Please let me know if that helps, I'd like to make sure you succeed.
Yup... "read the fine print" as they say.. I did not notice that. Thanks
