Deleting resources

You can delete reference image, product, or product set resources created by the API.

Individual resource deletion

Deleting a reference image

You can delete a reference image associated with a product.

After the operation request the images are marked for deletion, but will remain in the product until the next time it is indexed.

The actual image files in Cloud Storage are NOT deleted by this operation. Only the reference to the image is removed from the product.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

  • PROJECT_ID: Your Google Cloud project ID.
  • LOCATION_ID: A valid location identifier. Valid location identifiers are: us-west1, us-east1, europe-west1, and asia-east1.
  • PRODUCT_ID: The ID for the product that is associated with a reference image. This ID is either randomly set or specified by the user at product creation time.
  • IMAGE_ID: The ID of the target image resource.

HTTP method and URL: 

DELETE https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-id/locations/location-id/products/product-id/referenceImages/image-id

To send your request, choose one of these options:

curl

Execute the following command: 

curl -X DELETE \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "x-goog-user-project: project-id" \
     "https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-id/locations/location-id/products/product-id/referenceImages/image-id"

PowerShell

Execute the following command: 

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred"; "x-goog-user-project" = "project-id" }

Deleting a product set

You can also delete a product set.

Deleting a product set immediately removes the product set from results. However, deleting a product set will not remove individual products in the set, as a product may belong to several different sets. You do not need to wait for the next index for the change to take effect.

The actual image files in Cloud Storage are NOT deleted by this operation. ReferenceImage resources created by the API are not removed.

Batch resource deletion

You can now batch delete products. Product batch deletion is available for the following product types:

  • All products in a specific product set
  • All products that belong to no product set

To avoid concurrent operation errors, wait to delete the product set after this batch product delete operation has completed. If reusing the emptied product set, also wait until batch deletion is finished before importing new products.

These considerations are similar for individual products; you should avoid acting on any individual products involved in batch deletion. For example, you shouldn't add any of these products to another product set, as they will eventually be deleted.

Delete products in a product set

You can delete all products in a given product set by specifying the product set ID in the request.

All products in the product set will be deleted regardless of if they belong to other product sets.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

  • PROJECT_ID: Your Google Cloud project ID.
  • LOCATION_ID: A valid location identifier. Valid location identifiers are: us-west1, us-east1, europe-west1, and asia-east1.
  • PRODUCT_SET_ID: The ID for the product set you want to run the operation on.

HTTP method and URL:

Delete orphan products

You can delete all products not in a product set by specifying this option in the request.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

  • PROJECT_ID: Your Google Cloud project ID.
  • LOCATION_ID: A valid location identifier. Valid location identifiers are: us-west1, us-east1, europe-west1, and asia-east1.

HTTP method and URL: 

POST https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-id/locations/location-id/products:purge

Request JSON body: 

{
  "force": "true",
  "deleteOrphanProducts": "true"
}

To send your request, choose one of these options:

curl

Save the request body in a file named request.json, and execute the following command: 

curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "x-goog-user-project: project-id" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
     -d @request.json \
     "https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-id/locations/location-id/products:purge"

PowerShell

Save the request body in a file named request.json, and execute the following command: 

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred"; "x-goog-user-project" = "project-id" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method POST `
    -Headers $headers `
    -ContentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8" `
    -InFile request.json `
    -Uri "https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-id/locations/location-id/products:purge" | Select-Object -Expand Content

This request starts a long-running operation. The JSON response contains information about this long-running operation: 

{
"name": "projects/project-id/locations/location-id/operations/bc4e1d412863e626"
}

In this case, the operation-id is bc4e1d412863e626.

You can track the progress of this operation using the operation-id. For an example of getting an operation's status, see Getting the status of an operation.

Getting the status of an operation

You can use the operation-id of a long-running operation (such as purge product set, or purge orphan products) to get its status.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

  • PROJECT_ID: Your Google Cloud project ID.
  • LOCATION_ID: A valid location identifier. Valid location identifiers are: us-west1, us-east1, europe-west1, and asia-east1.
  • OPERATION_ID: The ID of your operation. The ID is the last element of the name of your operation. For example:
    • operation name: projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID/operations/bc4e1d412863e626
    • operation id: bc4e1d412863e626

HTTP method and URL: 

GET https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/locations/location-id/operations/operation-id

To send your request, choose one of these options:

curl

Execute the following command: 

curl -X GET \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "x-goog-user-project: project-id" \
     "https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/locations/location-id/operations/operation-id"

PowerShell

Execute the following command: 

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred"; "x-goog-user-project" = "project-id" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method GET `
    -Headers $headers `
    -Uri "https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/locations/location-id/operations/operation-id" | Select-Object -Expand Content
