REST DELETE API with request body

[Vinod Kumar Donthi]

Hi,

I am trying to delete multiple records through  REST DELETE API. For some reason the request body is not reaching the API. I know that it is not recommended to send a request body in REST DELETE. How can i achieve deletion of multiple records?

Unfortunately, as per the RFC, you cannot supply a body with a DELETE request.

When I've hit this in the past, I've been lucky enough that the API provided also supported an equivalent POST endpoint (in my case I had to specify the query argument ?method=DELETE).
