DELETE /api/v1/users

The delete method helps remove a specific record, which is defined by a username. We will pass username as the JSON object that needs to be deleted from the database.

The following code snippet will create a new route in app.py for the DELETE method for users:

    @app.route('/api/v1/users', methods=['DELETE']) 
    def delete_user(): 
     if not request.json or not 'username' in request.json: 
        abort(400) 
     user=request.json['username'] 
      return jsonify({'status': del_user(user)}), 200 

In the next code snippet, we will call del_user, which deletes the user record specified by username after validating whether it exists or not:

 def del_user(del_user): conn = sqlite3.connect('mydb.db') print ("Opened database successfully"); cursor=conn.cursor() ...
