DELETE (Stack)

In order to delete more than one translation at once, it's possible to provide an array of ids to the REST API. Simply pass the array of translation ids to the following URL (example)

  • [DELETE] http://my-shop-url/translations/

without providing an id as seen in the single DELETE request. As data provide the array of ids you wish to delete.

Updating many articles at once requires an array of translation data being provided to the following URL using the PUT request (example):

  • [PUT] http://my-shop-url/translations/

Simply provide the same data as described in the GET request. Unlike other batch endpoints, a "key" field is required instead of an "id" field.
