This operation deletes entities by their IDs or with a boolean expression.
The base URL for this API is in the following format:
https://${CLUSTER_ENDPOINT}
- You need to fill in
${CLUSTER_ENDPOINT}with that of your Zilliz Cloud cluster. - To get the endpoint, use the Describe Cluster V2 API to extract the values from the responses.
export CLUSTER_ENDPOINT=""
The authentication token should be an API key with appropriate privileges or a pair of colon-joined username and password, like username:password. If you are using a project endpoint, only a valid API key with sufficient permissions applies.
The name of the database.
The name of the collection from which entities are to be deleted.
A scalar filtering condition to filter matching entities. You can set this parameter to an empty string to skip scalar filtering. To build a scalar filtering condition, refer to Reference on Scalar Filters.
The name of a partition in the current collection. If specified, the data is to be deleted from the specified partition.
The primary key of the entity to delete. You can use this parameter instead of filter to delete a single entity by its ID.
