Delete Link Record §

This does not actually delete a link location on the blockchain. Blockchain records cannot be changed. Instead, it creates a new empty record that prevents any further updates to the current link location. A deleted link location cannot be updated further.

The record will be submitted to the blockchain asynchronously.

1. The record owner deletes the previous link location via Event

2. The result is the new link Location of an empty record on the blockchain

3. The record owner stores the new link Location for later processing

4. Ideally, the record owner should check the status of the new link location

Example code:

cURL

curl -X POST $URL/api/v1/linkedrecords/$LOC/delete \
     -H "x-api-key: $KEY" \
     -H "accept: text/plain"

JavaScript

Example cURL response:

{
  "txId": "880ea79ee5728333....390cdecd1a9686b4bd"
}

The response includes a location that can be used in subsequent commands.

cURL

LOC=880ea79ee5728333....390cdecd1a9686b4bd
