Rest API : Deletion of an Element

[XavierZeitoun]

Hi,

I tried to use the rest api to delete automatically an element in a model by submitting a commit request without payload as indicated in the syson swagger documentation but received a 405 code response with no text content. Could you please provide an example on how to use the rest api to delete an element from a model (exemple a part def from a package)?

Here is a python code to reproduce the delete behavior.

import requests

host = 'my_host_id'
project_id='c787e8d7-b756-4ac1-8de4-55a222021f3b'
element_to_delete_id='7f5a396d-9f82-43c6-a896-1908457c0ff9'

commits_url = f"{host}/projects/{project_id}/commits"

payload = {
"@type": "Commit",
"change": [
{
"@type": "DataVersion",
"identity": {
"@id": element_to_delete_id
}
}
]
}

response = requests.post(commits_url, json=payload)

if response.status_code == 201:
print("Element successfully deleted")
else:
print(f"Erreur : {response.status_code} - {response.text}")

Hello,

I've just added a new recipe about that in the official documentation https://doc.mbse-syson.org/syson/main/developer-guide/api/api-cookbook.html#_delete_element_recipe_python_script

Hope it will help you!
