deleteDocument #

Delete a stored document, or all stored documents matching a search filter.

There is a small delay between the time a document is deleted and it being reflected in the search layer (usually a couple of seconds). That means that a document that was just deleted may still be returned by this function at first.

deleteDocument(documentId, [options], [callback]) #

Arguments Type Description
documentId string Unique document identifier
options JSON object Optional parameters
callback function Optional callback

deleteDocument(filters, [options], [callback]) #

Arguments Type Description

callback function Optional callback

Options #

queuable boolean Make this request queuable or not true
