    Delete a Source

    Deprecated:

    Use the Catalog API instead. The Source API will be removed in a future release.

    This API deletes an existing source.

    Syntax

    Method and URL 
    DELETE /api/v3/source/{id}

    Response Codes

    401 - user does not have permission to delete the source.

    404 - a source with the specified id could not be found.

    Example: Delete source

    In this example, a source entity is deleted. The host is a single node and the data is the Dremio sample source data.

    In this case, there were two duplicate sources: Samples and Samples (1). This example deletes the Samples (1) source. The ID, a24cf314-6305-49cf-9b4e-f7da55f8044d, was obtained from the results of GET /source.

    Postman is used to generate the examples.
