How to send delete request in AirTable

I wanted to send delete requests to AirTable.
Actually, I couldn’t find how to send delete requests from Parabola.

Does anyone use it?

Hey Dilip - you would want to use the API Export to send a delete request to Airtable!

Hey Brian,

I am working on this now. Is there something in particular I need to do when doing this? I am getting a 422 error

I checked that the API endpoint is correct. The API bearer token is correct, etc.

I also have this for the header. I am not sure if I need anything else.

Use API Export with Delete Method.

Also, set The API bearer token, No need to set any header or anything.

why do you have the api endpoint with /parabola/{id}?

Mine is https://api.airtable.com/v0/appxxxxxxxx/Jobs

Jobs is the name of the sheet.

The rest I have the same as you.

Also, I am trying to delete the entire sheet. I am not sure if that matters or not.

No that’s doesn’t matter, “parabola” is also a sheet/table name for me.

Dilip’s reply is the right way to delete records - so Henry, you would use https://api.airtable.com/v0/appxxxxxxxx/Jobs/{id} with the DELETE request type at the top of the step. And with that, you don’t need to send anything in the body of the request (I believe).

Have you given that a go?

worked! love Parabola
