It may occasionally be necessary to remove (DELETE) a collection qualifier (previously known as “tag”). Only collection qualifiers that you create in the tenant container may be deleted. This is done by performing a DELETE request to the Offer Library API using the $id of the collection qualifier you wish to delete.

API format

DELETE /{ENDPOINT_PATH}/{CONTAINER_ID}/instances/{INSTANCE_ID}
Parameter Description Example
{ENDPOINT_PATH} The endpoint path for repository APIs. https://platform.adobe.io/data/core/xcore/
{CONTAINER_ID} The container where the collection qualifiers are located. e0bd8463-0913-4ca1-bd84-6309134ca1f6
{INSTANCE_ID} The instance id of the collection qualifier you wish to update. d48fd160-13dc-11eb-bc55-c11be7252432

Request

curl -X DELETE \
  'https://platform.adobe.io/data/core/xcore/e0bd8463-0913-4ca1-bd84-6309134ca1f6/instances/d48fd160-13dc-11eb-bc55-c11be7252432' \
  -H 'Accept: application/vnd.adobe.platform.xcore.xdm.receipt+json; version=1' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}' \
  -H 'x-api-key: {API_KEY}' \
  -H 'x-gw-ims-org-id: {IMS_ORG}' \
  -H 'x-sandbox-name: {SANDBOX_NAME}'

Response

A successful response returns HTTP status 202 (No Content) and a blank body.

You can confirm the deletion by attempting a lookup (GET) request to the collection qualifier. You will need to include an Accept header in the request, but should receive an HTTP status 404 (Not Found) because the collection qualifier has been removed from the container.
