Delete individual client identifiers

Using the attacklist API with PUT method, you can delete the active client identifiers. The API requires only the body without any other headers. In the message body of the API, provide the client identifiers in their respective sections. The API checks if the client identifier is present in the active list or not before deleting. If you provide a client identifier which is not part of the active list, the API ignores such client identifiers.

URL: /v4/abs/attacklist

Method: PUT

Following is a sample message body for attacklist API to delete client identifiers:

You can provide only specific section of a client identifier in the message body. For example, if you only want to delete specific usernames, then provide only the username section in the message body. Make sure that the JSON file is well formed.
