Try to delete from Azure cognitive search and receive a “not valid parameter”

Say you try to delete from Azure search / Azure cognitive services / something-ai-copilot like so:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
<em>### DELETE</em>

POST {{url}}/indexes/user-index-2021-03-25/docs/search?api-version=2023-07-01-preview

Content-Type: application/json

api-key: {{apiKey}}



{

    "value": &#91;

        {

            "@search.action": "delete",

            "rid": "RHZaaF9vbG05R1hH"

        }

    ]

}

Ang get a response like:

1
2
3
4
5
6
{

  "error": {

    "code": "",

    "message": "The request is invalid. Details: The parameter 'value' in the request payload is not a valid parameter for the operation 'search'."

  }

}

Then the problem is probably the “search” in the URL.

Try “index” instead:
