Deleting a location

Important

If the location has registered storages, you must delete or move them first. Otherwise, you will not be able to delete the location.

To delete a location

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

   The following variables should be available now:

   >>> base_url  # the base URL of the API
   '<the data center URL>/api/2'
   >>> auth  # the 'Authorization' header value with the access token
   {'Authorization': 'Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6ImMwMD...'}
   >>> tenant_id  # the UUID of the tenant to which the token provides access
   'ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae'
   

2. Assign the location_id variable the UUID of a location created via the API or a location found in tenant’s locations:

   >>> location_id = created_location_id
   >>> location_id
   '8fcd353b-0a40-40f2-9a55-ef8137d48800'
   

3. Fetch the revision number of the location as described in the chapters above. The following variable should be available now:

   >>> version
   0
   

4. Define a variable named params, and then assign the version query string parameter to this variable:

   >>> params = {
   ...     'version': version
   ... }
   

   Name	Value type	Required	Description
   version	number	Yes	Revision number.

5. Send a DELETE request to the /locations/{location_id} endpoint:

   >>> response = requests.delete(f'{base_url}/locations/{location_id}', headers=auth, params=params)
   

6. Check the status code of the response:

   >>> response.status_code
   204
   

   Status code 204 means that the location has been successfully deleted.

   Note

   A different status code means that an error has occurred. For details of the error, see HTTP status response codes and API error codes.
