Delete example

To delete a record, use HTTP DELETE or the POST request with the custom X-HTTP-Method header value of DELETE. Supply the primary key of the record to delete. The following screen shows a request in Postman to delete an account name from a Salesforce data store.

To formulate the request:

• The Content-Type header value is application/atom+xml.
• The custom header X-HTTP-Method value is DELETE.
• The resource URL includes:
  • The service root, <myserver>:<port>/api/odata.
  • The Data Source definition name, sfds.
  • The plural entity name, ACCOUNTS followed by the primary key (partially cut off in the screen shot).
• The body of the request is empty.

The following screen shows the result of executing the request. The Status of 204 No Content indicates that the record was successfully deleted.
