DELETE visitor

You must use the region-specific host returned in the authentication API with this call. For more information, see Authentication.

Consider the following prior to deleting one or more visitor records:

• Requests to delete visitor records result in the deletion of all data associated to the visitor ID value, including stitched visitor records.
• Delete requests are queued for processing and may take up to 30 days to complete.
• If a visitor replaces or has been replaced by another visitor, all visitors that have been stitched are deleted.
• The parameters to the DELETE command must be passed as URL-encoded form fields using the content-type " application/x-www-form-urlencoded", and not as query string parameters.

Use the following DELETE command to delete a visitor record:

DELETE /v3/privacy/visitor/accounts/{account}/profiles/{profile}
  attributeID={value}
  attributeValue={value}

This command uses the following parameters:

• attributeId
  The numeric ID representing a Visitor ID attribute from your account.
• attributeValue
  The value to look up.

Permission requirements

• Server-side publisher legacy permissions, or
• View, Edit, & Delete Visitor Lookup platform permissions

Example cURL request

curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer {token}' \
-X DELETE \
'https://us-east1-platform.tealiumapis.com/v3/privacy/visitor/accounts/my_account/profiles/main' \
--data-urlencode "attributeId=86"
--data-urlencode "attributeValue=user@example.com"

Example response

The response to a delete request includes a transaction_id and a status. The transaction_id is used in the GET transactions call to check the status of a previous request. The following status strings are possible: PENDING, SUCCESS, or FAILED.

A successful response displays the 202 Accepted message with a transactionId value. If a request with the exact same account, profile, attributeId , and attributeValue already exists with a transaction status of PENDING, the existing transaction ID is returned, as follows:

{
"transactionId" : "{transactionId1}"
}

Error messages

Potential error messages for this task are:

GET transaction

You must use the region-specific host returned in the authentication API with this call. For more information, see Authentication.

A transaction refers to any DELETE visitor request. DELETE visitor requests are queued for later processing, which makes the transaction_id the unique record for that request and ID to be used when checking the processing status.

Use the following GET command to check the status of a transaction:

GET /v3/privacy/visitor/accounts/{account}/profiles/{profile}/transactions/{transaction_id}

Permission requirements

• Server-side reader, editor, or publisher legacy permissions, or
• Minimum View Visitor Lookup platform permissions

Example cURL request

For information about generating a bearer token from the API key, see Authentication. The bearer token is used in the API calls, rather than the API key.

curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer {token}' \
https://us-east-1-platform.tealiumapis.com/v3/privacy/visitor/accounts/my_account/profiles/main/transactions/0123456789

Example response

The response contains an object with one key/value pair where the key is a transaction_id and the value is one of the following status strings: PENDING, SUCCESS, or FAILED.

{
  "0123456789" : "SUCCESS"
}

Error messages

Potential error messages for this task are:
