Dropping a Scope

  • reference
    +
    Scopes can be dropped, by means of the REST API.

    Description

    Scopes are dropped by means of the DELETE /pools/default/buckets/<bucket_name>/scopes/<scope_name> HTTP method and URI.

    HTTP Method and URI

    DELETE /pools/default/buckets/<bucket_name>/scopes/<scope_name>

    Syntax

    The curl syntax is as follows:

    curl -X DELETE -v -u [admin]:[password]
      http://<hostname-or-ip>:8091/pools/default/buckets/\
        <bucket_name>/scopes/<scope_name>

    The <bucket-name> path-parameter specifies the bucket whose scope is to be dropped. The <scope-name> path-parameter specifies the scope that is to be dropped.

    Responses

    Success returns 200 OK. Failure to authenticate gives 401 Unauthorized. A malformed URI fails with 404 Object Not Found. If the scope-name is improperly specified, a notification such as "name":"Length must be in range from 1 to 30" or "name":"Can only contain characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and the following symbols _ - %" is displayed. See Scopes and Collections, for an account of naming conventions.

    Example

    Curl request example:

    curl -X DELETE -v -u Administrator:password \
    http://10.143.210.101:8091/pools/default/buckets/\
    testBucket/scopes/my_scope

    If successful, the call returns a UID. For example:

    {"uid":20}
