HTTP REST API Delete Method is not working

[srinidhi]

Hello All,

Unable to delete record in 3rd party tool with HTTP delete method. Getting below mentioned error.

"{\"type\":\"https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6.5.4\",\"title\":\"Not Found\",\"status\":404,\"traceId\":\"00-7e78b735d2000a98d9dff502b5d1810a-6cc4e5d7d061b472-00\"}"

Regards,

Srinidhi.

Here is my script.

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

	// Add your code here
try { 
 var r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('Machine Users', 'Delete Machineuser');
 
 var body = {
	"id": 118206,
	"clientId": 1510,
 };
 r.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
 r.setRequestBody(JSON.stringify(body));

 var response = r.execute();
 var responseBody = response.getBody();
 var httpStatus = response.getStatusCode();
 gs.addInfoMessage('response status:' + httpStatus );
 gs.addInfoMessage(JSON.stringify(responseBody));
}
catch(ex) {
 var message = ex.message;
}
})(current, previous);

@newhand , Thanks for the reply,

yeah i was missing that. 

I have added the parameters in the url, still getting same error.

Thanks.

@srinidhi 

some advises

1.  check the api document to understand what does the 404 mean
    ※Generally 404 means the api you are calling doesn't exist, but some systems may change the usage of 404 .

2. Check the url  and ensure the url you are using is correct (the domain part of url)

3. Check if the authentication method meets the requirements（baseAuth is OK？）

4. I suggest you to use other api tools such as postman to do a connect test first !

Thanks all for the help,

I have modified the end point URL in the rest message and in script I added the parameters.

Now it's working fine. Below are the changes.

script:

var assid = current.u_assignment_id;

var r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('Users', 'Delete Machineuser');

 r.setStringParameterNoEscape('clientId', '1511');

 r.setStringParameterNoEscape('id', assid);

var response = r.execute();

Rest message endpoint for delete method:

https://abc.com/api/example?id=${id}&clientId=${clientId}
