Why I can't delete Link between person and group identities with Platform of Trust's Identity API? - api

Question

I have created account on Sandbox
I have then created a group with
curl -i -X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d \
"{
\"context\": \"https://standards.oftrust.net/v2/Context/Identity/Group/\",
\"type\": \"Group\",
\"data\": {
\"name\": \"Company Oy\"
}
}" "https://api-sandbox.oftrust.net/identities/v1"
I have also created a Link between person and group, I used MemberOf
curl -i --request POST \
--url https://api-sandbox.oftrust.net/identities/v1/{fromIdentityId}/link/{toIdentityId} \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '{
"context": "https://standards.oftrust.net/v2/Context/Link/Role/MemberOf/",
"type": "Member"
}'
I got successful response that link was created between those identities.
Trying to delete this link now, but I get as response 404 and message Link not found.
What I try is according with example from documentation
curl -i -X DELETE \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
"https://api-sandbox.oftrust.net/identities/v1/{fromIdentityId}/link/{toIdentityId}/MemberOf"
[UPDATE]: I discovered also in Identity API documentation that can list all links of identity.
And have made this for group identity:
curl -i -X GET \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
"https://api-sandbox.oftrust.net/identities/v1/<group_id>/links"
The response shows that link between group and person identities.

Firstly, make sure you respected the id values (their order) for From and To. They should be the same you get in response of https://api-sandbox.oftrust.net/identities/v1/<group_id>/links
Secondly, delete Link endpoint needs to be used with a type, as exemplified. In this case MemberOf. But looking at the creation of the link there is a typo: context used is correct, but the type is Member. Type should match the last part of the name in context => MemberOf
In this case, since you are trying to delete it, simply use Member
curl -i -X DELETE \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
"https://api-sandbox.oftrust.net/identities/v1/{fromIdentityId}/link/{toIdentityId}/Member"
