DELETE - Remove Data
To delete data from a homeserver, use the delete
method on the session's storage. Like PUT, this requires an authenticated session.
async fn delete() -> pubky::Result<()> {
let pubky = Pubky::new()?;
let keypair = Keypair::random();
let signer = pubky.signer(keypair);
// The homeserver's public key
let homeserver = PublicKey::try_from("o4dksfbqk85ogzdb5osziw6befigbuxmuxkuxq8434q89uj56uyy")
.expect("Valid homeserver public key");
// Sign up to the homeserver
let session = signer.signup(&homeserver, None).await?;
// DELETE the content from the homeserver
session.storage().delete("/pub/example.txt").await?;
println!("Successfully deleted data");
Ok(())
}
The DELETE operation:
- Requires a
PubkySession
obtained from signing up or signing in - Takes a path (not a full URL) relative to your homeserver
- Removes the data at the specified location
- All operations are authenticated using your session
- Only the owner of the data can delete it
