DELETE_ENTRYLIST: Deleting a List of Entries

Use the DELETE_ENTRYLIST request to delete the list entries identified in a list of entry names or entry IDs you provide as input. A list of entry names is only valid if the list structure uses entry names.

The LISTTYPE parameter indicates whether you are providing a list of entry names or entry IDs:

LISTTYPE=IDLIST: Indicates a list of entry IDs.
LISTTYPE=NAMELIST: Indicates a list of entry names.

The FIRSTELEM and LASTELEM parameters specify the index of the first and last entry in the list, respectively, which are to be processed for the request.

You can use the LISTNUM parameter to specify that the list entries should be deleted only if they reside on a certain list. You can use additional filtering of entries by version number and/or list authority value. For a list of entry IDs, you also can filter entries by entry key.

For information about using the list entry version number to select the list entries to be deleted, see Understanding the List Entry Version Number.
For information about selecting entries for processing by list authority value, see Understanding the List Authority Value.
For information about using the entry key to select entries for processing, see Using the Entry Key in Multiple List Operations.
