A bug is delete_api.

[newskooler]

I don't see a way that I can delete a measurement from a bucket (I can see how to delete a whole bucket).
Can you please show how? I am sure that's possible : )

I tried to follow the advice here:
https://community.influxdata.com/t/delete-measurements-by-name-from-bucket/15060

But I get an error in the form of:

ApiException: (501)
Reason: Not Implemented
HTTP response headers: HTTPHeaderDict({'Server': 'nginx/1.14.0 (Ubuntu)', 'Date': 'Tue, 17 Nov 2020 12:04:49 GMT', 'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8', 'Content-Length': '54', 'Connection': 'keep-alive', 'X-Platform-Error-Code': 'not implemented'})
HTTP response body: {"code":"not implemented","message":"Not implemented"}

I identified the bug. It's mentioned here: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.0/reference/syntax/delete-predicate/

I also tried to add a branch with the fixed issue, but got the following error:

ERROR: Permission to influxdata/influxdb-client-python.git denied to snenkov.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Hi @snenkov,

thanks for using our client. You could use something like:

start = "1970-01-01T00:00:00Z"
stop = "2021-01-01T00:00:00Z"
delete_api = client.delete_api()
delete_api.delete(start, stop, '_measurement="sensorData"', bucket_id=bucket_id, org_id=organization_id)

The delete API works only for the Influx Cloud instance.

In InfluxDB OSS 2.0rc, the delete with predicate API (/api/v2/delete) has been disabled and returns a 501 Not implemented message.

• see details: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.0/reference/syntax/delete-predicate/

Sure, but it's a matter of changing the string as per the docs from

/api/v2/delete

To

/delete

Right?

[bednar]

I think the doc is not clear. As I see in sources the delete is still on /api/v2/delete:

We have tests for DeleteAPI... Did you try it with /delete path? I tried it and the /delete doesn't work

Hi, I bumped into this issue while working with InfluxDB OSS Version 2.0.2 and influxdb-client 1.12.0.
I tried the /delete path and I confirm that it still does not work.

@Fahien please vote for influxdata/influxdb#19635

The issue influxdata/influxdb#19635 is fixed, please update InfluxDB to 2.0.3.
