Delete an inference endpoint Generally available; Added in 8.11.0

DELETE /_inference/{task_type}/{inference_id}
Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

All methods and paths for this operation:

DELETE /_inference/{inference_id}

DELETE /_inference/{task_type}/{inference_id}

Path parameters

  • task_type string Required

    The task type

    Values are sparse_embedding, text_embedding, rerank, completion, or chat_completion.

  • inference_id string Required

    The inference identifier.

Query parameters

  • dry_run boolean

    When true, the endpoint is not deleted and a list of ingest processors which reference this endpoint is returned.

  • force boolean

    When true, the inference endpoint is forcefully deleted even if it is still being used by ingest processors or semantic text fields.

Responses

  • 200 application/json
    Hide response attributes Show response attributes object

    Acknowledged response. For dry_run, contains the list of pipelines which reference the inference endpoint

    • acknowledged boolean Required

      For a successful response, this value is always true. On failure, an exception is returned instead.

    • pipelines array[string] Required
