API call to GET a list of images based on a created before date and zero dependancies

User_YZHGG · May 18, 2022 10:46AM

Hi Everyone! ?

So, I have searched high and low all of yesterday, trawling Oracle documents and YouTube for this answer - pleeeease help, if you can ?

OK so - I need to run in Postman and API call to do the following;

GET all images within an ELOQUA instance before 01 January 2019 with no dependencies
Once I have that - DELETE those images from the ELOQUA instance

It sounds so simple doesn't it - however I am seriously lacking as to how to achieve this.

Please help if you can!

Thanks!

Hi User_YZHGG

Thank you for reaching out to the community forum with your question.

I have reviewed the question and what I understood is you need an API reference to pull images and delete them. Therefore, I recommend you go through the below links for the answer.

Bulk API Reference:

Retrieve a list of images:

Hi Sachin,

Thanks for your reply, really appreciate it...

Basically what I need is an API call(s) to do the following:

Identify those images in ELOQUA which have not been updated since January 2020 - so before then. - GET
Once I have that, I then need to DELETE these from Eloqua via API call

The documentation, although helpful - do not give guidance to that specific request. It's annoying as this should be so simple however I just do not know the more intricate API call to fulfil such a request...

Any guidance you can give would be great - I would've thought this isn't an uncommon request...

Many thanks.

You can retrieve images via API that have not been updated since January 2020 by using the search URL parameter like this:

GET /api/rest/1.0/assets/images?search=updatedAt<1577865600

Once you have this list you will need to delete the images one at a time by id using the Delete an image endpoint.

Hi @Lou Patrick

Thank you very much.

Is there an API call which can delete the images 'en - mass' aka in bulk so to speak - i.e. not having to delete each one separately?

Thank you.
