Examples

  1. Here's an example of a JSON return object from a call to /source/update:

    {
    "id": "da4f8df71a0f43698acf9240b5ad668f",
    "name": "news_source",
    "source_type": "facebook_page",
    "created_at": 1391707662,
    "status": "running",
    "parameters": {
      "posts_by_others": true,
      "likes": false,
      "comments": false
    },
    "resources": [
      {
        "parameters": {
          "title": "The Guardian",
          "url": "http://www.facebook.com/theguardian",
          "id": "10513336322"
        },
        "resource_id": "7e8099d7f34f466e8bee01852243e16b"
      },
      {
        "parameters": {
          "title": "The Sun",
          "url": "http://www.facebook.com/thesun",
          "id": "161385360554578"
        },
        "resource_id": "b801b1f3a6934cf29e02d092bff9b7f1"
      }
    ],
    "auth": [
      {
        "expires_at": 2112112110,
        "parameters": {
          "value": "EZBXlFZBUgBYmjHkxc2pPmzLeJJYmAvQkwZCRdm0A1NAjidHy1h"
        },
        "identity_id": "d38e5598142746e19689ddee65ddca55"
      }
    ]
  }

    It includes two resources. To remove, say, the second one:

    curl -X PUT https://api.datasift.com/v1.6/source/resource/remove \
    -d 'id=da4f8df71a0f43698acf9240b5ad668f' \
    -d 'resource_ids=["b801b1f3a6934cf29e02d092bff9b7f1"]' \
    -H 'Authorization: datasift-user:datasift-key'

  2. Alternatively, you could remove both resources in example 1 at the same time:

    curl -X PUT https://api.datasift.com/v1.6/source/resource/remove \
    -d 'id=da4f8df71a0f43698acf9240b5ad668f' \
    -d 'resource_ids=["7e8099d7f34f466e8bee01852243e16b", "b801b1f3a6934cf29e02d092bff9b7f1"]' \
    -H 'Authorization: datasift-user:datasift-key'
