This example shows how to delete a template from the cloud using Python.  It calls the Docmosis REST API to delete a template file on the cloud.

The sample code includes the instructions to get started. You will need a Free Trial and then plug your Docmosis Cloud access key into the code below, then run.

Note: This code sample is written to specifically work with DWS4.

# This example shows how to use Python to call the Docmosis Cloud service to delete a template.

import json
import requests
import datetime

# Set your region url here.
# End-point in the USA
URL = 'https://us1.dws4.docmosis.com/api/deleteTemplate'
# End-point in the EU
#URL = 'https://eu1.dws4.docmosis.com/api/deleteTemplate'
# End-point in AUS
#URL = 'https://au1.dws4.docmosis.com/api/deleteTemplate'

# Set your access key here. This is visible in your cloud account in the Docmosis Web Site.
# It is your key to accessing your service - keep it private and safe.
accessKey='XXX'

#Set the name of the template you wish to delete
templateName="myTemplate.docx"

if accessKey=='XXX':
  print('Please set your access key')
  exit()
 
payload = {'accessKey':accessKey, 'templateName':templateName}

headers = {'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}

r = requests.post(URL, data=payload, headers = headers)

if r.status_code == requests.codes.ok:
 
  print('template deleted');
else:
  print('Failed');
  print(r.text)
