How to delete a tag via REST API with no value?

[quilleo]

I have tags that look like this:

tags": [

        {

            "context": "CONTEXTLESS",

            "key": "[VMware]Application:",

            "stringRepresentation": "[VMware]Application:"

        },

NOTE the : at the end of the key

When I try to delete it with this entitySelector I get the below error:

entityId(%22HOST-037D9E43BDBCD7DA%22)&tag=%5BVMware%5DApplication%3A

 "error": {

        "code": 400,

        "message": "Constraints violated.",

        "constraintViolations": [

            {

                "path": "key",

                "message": "may not be empty",

                "parameterLocation": "QUERY",

                "location": null

            },

            {

                "path": "entitySelector",

                "message": "Parsing error in entitySelector near 1-based column range [34,59) : ’&tag=[VMware]Application:’",

                "parameterLocation": "QUERY",

                "location": null

            }

        ]

    }

I have tried a bunch of combinations based on the documumenation and I get getting similar errors.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi @quilleo, I've moved this question from the "Community discussions" sub-forum, as that space is reserved for Community-related questions 🙂 here your question has a higher chance of getting a solution!

Hi, I had no issues deleting this tag.

1. Created a manual tag to match yours [VMware]Application:
2. Use the environment API v2 DELETE /tags endpoint to target my a single service (you probably want to target many services rather than just one).
3. Set the key to [VMware]Application:
4. The tag is deleted
