deleterecord

command=deleterecord&<parameter>=<value>&...

• database (String) database from which the record must be deleted. The name of this database must have been specified in the adlibweb.xml file.
• priref (Integer) priref (record number) of record to delete.
• output (String) [optional] output format to be returned. Values for output can be either json or xml (xml is the default, so you don't need to specify that explicitly). However, the output format produced by jQuery applications is always JSON, so you don't need to specify the output type there either.
  Read more about JSON output here.
• callback (String) [optional] returns JSON output wrapped in brackets with your callback function name, for AJAX requests: <callback function name>( <JSON output> ); You don't need to specify output=json, because the output format is JSON by default.

Description

To delete a record via de Axiell WebAPI, you have to know the record number (priref) of the record you want to delete. This priref can be obtained by searching for the desired record first, in any of the different ways described elsewhere in this documentation.

Examples

• Write a new record with just title notes in database 'externalobjects' show

  A new record will be created. If it has number 10000049, you can delete it via the second example below. Note that creating a new record via a URL, like below (by HTML encoding and then URL encoding the XML data to be written) is a deprecated method: in your own application, use the POST method instead.

• Delete the record you created in the previous example show

  If the record to be deleted doesn't exist, you'll receive an Adlib.Database.DatabaseRecordNotFoundException. If the record you created has a number other than 10000049, then please copy the URL manually to the URL field of your browser and replace the number 10000049 by the actual number.
