Step-by-step procedure

1. Authenticate to the cloud platform via the Python shell.

   The following variables should be available now:

   >>> base_url  # the base URL
   'https://eu8-cloud.acronis.com'
   >>> auth  # the 'Authorization' header value with the access token
   {'Authorization': 'Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6ImMwMD...'}
   

2. Define a variable named params, and then assign an object with the workload_id parameter to delete one or more workloads by IDs to this variable:

   >>> params = {
   ...     # Include workload attributes in the response
   ...     "workload_id": "54f3318a-6e72-49d7-b94f-b9909df96d16"
   ... }
   

3. Send a DELETE request to the /api/workload_management/v5/workloads endpoint:

   >>> response = requests.delete(
   ...     f'{base_url}/api/workload_management/v5/workloads',
   ...     headers=auth,
   ...     params=params,
   ... )
   

4. Check the status code of the response:

   >>> response.status_code
   204
   

   Status code 204 means that the workloads were deleted successfully.
