In your app

A function makes the call on the client it is given, so your code passes the real one and a test passes a fake.

Add the function

src/attract/delete-video.ts

Call it

A script makes the client once and calls the function:
scripts/delete-video.ts
Terminal
A route handler, a job or a queue worker calls it the same way.

Find the id

id is the document’s _id, from a list. Ask the list for only the fields you need: each row is a document’s id and those fields.
TypeScript
Pass row.id as id. Drafts: list with { aposMode: 'draft' } to get the draft’s id (Find an id).

Required parameters

One object, e.g. deleteVideo({ id }); leave out the optional fields.
string
required
Required. The draft’s _id (…:en:draft): deleting it removes the draft and its published document, for good.
Nothing: the promise resolves once the site has answered. Deleted, for good (not moved to the archive). No body.
Nothing to catch: the SDK retries what is safe, and throws the rest as the classes below; catch only what you want to react to (see Errors and testing).
400
The site refused what was sent: errors lists each field’s problem, siteMessage the first.Retried first: No. Read: errors (field → messages), siteMessage.
401
The API key is missing or refused (malformed, revoked, expired), or a signature its signing mode needs is missing or stale.Retried first: No. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.
403
The key may not do this: a scope it lacks, or an address outside its allowlist. siteMessage names it.Retried first: No. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.
404
Nothing matches, or the caller may not see it.Retried first: No. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.
500
The site failed. Its logs say why.Retried first: No: a write may have landed. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.
no answer
No answer: DNS, a refused connection, TLS, or the timeout (15 s per attempt by default).Retried first: Only when nothing reached the site (neverConnected()); never after a timeout, when it may have landed. Read: reason, neverConnected.
not sent
The client refused to send it (e.g. a path segment of ..); the site never saw it.Retried first: No. Read: reason (what to change).
any other
Any other status, or a success whose JSON doesn’t match this SDK version’s types (update the SDK).Retried first: No. Read: reason, status.
setup
sites.forSite('acme') named a slug your sites (createSiteClients()) don’t have.Retried first: No: nothing was sent. Read: message, slug.
setup
The client’s settings are wrong: no FETCHSKI_ATTRACT_URL (or baseUrl), or a malformed API key.Retried first: No: nothing was sent. Read: message (what to fix).

Behavior

  • Access: an API key with content:videos:delete (or a master above it: content:videos:all, content:all, admin:all). A signed-in person may call it as far as their own permissions allow; anyone else gets 403.
  • Rate limit: the key’s own writes-per-minute limit, set when the key is created (default 120); over it, 429 with Retry-After. The client waits and retries for you; you see RateLimited only if that runs out.
  • Retries: a write is sent again only after a 429 (refused before it acted) or when it never reached the site. After a timeout or a 5xx it may have landed: check before you send it again.
  • Timeout: 15 s per attempt by default; raise timeout (milliseconds) on the client for longer.

Test it

It calls the function above with a fake client: the fake answers every call with a valid example, so nothing leaves your machine and no settings or key are needed. Run it with node --test.
tests/videos-deleteVideo.test.ts

List a video’s locales

site.videos().getVideoLocales()

List videos

site.videos().listVideos()

Create a video

site.videos().createVideo()

Get a video

site.videos().getVideo()

Replace a video

site.videos().replaceVideo()

Update a video

site.videos().updateVideo()

DELETE /video/{_id}

The endpoint this calls, in the API reference: the HTTP request and answer, and every rule the site checks.
