Delete Resource Type

The FHIR conditional delete operation allows you to delete resources of a specific type that match certain search criteria. This is done using an HTTP DELETE request to the endpoint corresponding to the resource type with query parameters.

CLI

Omitting the search parameters deletes every resource of that type

parameters is optional. Leave it out and the server deletes every resource of the given type, up to its configured delete limit (past which it errors rather than partially deleting). Always pass search criteria unless that's genuinely what you want.

To delete Patient resources matching a search:

haste-health api delete-type Patient 'identifier=http://example.org/fhir/ids|12345'

TypeScript Client

Conditionally delete Patient resources using the TypeScript client:

import { AsynchronousClient } from '@haste-health/client';
import { R4 } from '@haste-health/fhir-types/versions';

// Assuming you have a configured client
const client: AsynchronousClient<{}> = /* ... */;

await client.delete_type(
  {},
  R4,
  'Patient',
  'identifier=http://example.org/fhir/ids|12345'
);

console.log('Matching Patient resources deleted');

cURL

Conditionally delete Patient resources using cURL:

curl -X DELETE "https://api.haste.health/w/[tenant]/[project]/api/v1/fhir/Patient?identifier=http://example.org/fhir/ids|12345" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"

Replace [tenant] with your tenant name and [project] with your project ID.
