Clear Requests
All of the Requests in a collection can be cleared by making an  HTTP DELETE request to the  /collections/COLLECTION_ID/clear endpoint (where  COLLECTION_ID is the  id of the Collection).
Collection Status
Collections can only be cleared from a Collection when it is not running. To check whether a Collection is currently running use the Get Collection endpoint.
﻿
Example
﻿DELETE  /collections/COLLECTION_ID/clear
In the example below we clear a Collection with  id=123456 :
Curl
Node.js
Python
PHP
$ curl -X DELETE "https://api.rainforestapi.com/collections/123456/clear?api_key=demo"
$ curl -X DELETE "https://api.rainforestapi.com/collections/123456/clear?api_key=demo"
﻿
Rainforest API responds with a JSON object confirming that the collection has been cleared:
JSON
{
  "request_info": {
    "success": true,
    "message": "Collection requests cleared"
  }
}
{
  "request_info": {
    "success": true,
    "message": "Collection requests cleared"
  }
}
