Hi,

I’m trying to delete an environment through Rancher API and getting 404 error.

When I click delete in actions on one of the environments(project in API), it says no action is needed.

And so I posted the http request

curl -u “${CATTLE_ACCESS_KEY}:${CATTLE_SECRET_KEY}”
-X POST
-H ‘Accept: application/json’
-H ‘Content-Type: application/json’
-d ‘{}’
‘http://192.168.54.207/v1/projects/1a94/?action=delete’

to delete the environment but gettting the below error

HTTP Response:

}

Can anyone please tell me what I’m missing?

Thank you

Sounds like you’re using the API key of an environment instead of one for a user. Environments (projects) can’t manage other environments.

Hi Vincent,

That was right ,I was trying with Environment API key.

Now, I tried with account key and still getting error

curl -u “publicvalue:secretvalue” \

-X POST
-H ‘Accept: application/json’
-H ‘Content-Type: application/json’
-d ‘{}’
‘http://192.168.54.207/v1/projects/1a94/?action=delete’
{“id”:“82380905-5862-4ede-ae53-88d4cb8fa6bd”,“type”:“error”,“links”:{},“actions”:{},“status”:422,“code”:“ActionNotAvailable”,“message”:null,“detail”:null,“fieldName”:“action”}

I got the public value and secret value by creating apikey in /v1/apikey for “admin” user and as well as the environment user “testenv2” which I’m trying to delete via API.

What am I missing?

delete isn’t an action… There is one called remove, but you should be using the HTTP method, curl -X DELETE ... http://192.168.54.207/v1/projects/1a94
