The fts resource allows you to retrieve and edit Atlas Search analyzers and index configurations for the specified cluster.

The Atlas Administration API authenticates using HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide a programmatic API public key and corresponding private key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request. To learn how to configure API access for an Atlas project, see Get Started with the Atlas Administration API.

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.

The following table shows the modes of access each role supports.

Role
Action
Atlas UI
Atlas API
Atlas Search API
Atlas CLI
To view Atlas Search analyzers and indexes.
To create and manage Atlas Search analyzers and indexes, and assign the role to your API Key.
To create access list entries for your API Key and send the request from a client that appears in the access list for your API Key.
To create, view, edit, and delete Atlas Search indexes using the Atlas UI or API.

DELETE /groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{CLUSTER-NAME}/fts/indexes/{INDEX-ID}
Path Element
Type
Necessity
Description
GROUP-ID
string
Required
Unique identifier for the project that contains the specified cluster.
CLUSTER-NAME
string
Required
Name of the cluster containing the database and collection with one or more Atlas Search indexes.
INDEX-ID
string
Required
Unique identifier of the Atlas Search index. Use the Get All Atlas Search Indexes for a Collection API endpoint to find the IDs of all Atlas Search indexes.

This endpoint might use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas Administration API resources. All of these are optional.

Name
Type
Necessity
Description
Default
pretty
boolean
Optional
Flag indicating whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format.
false
envelope
boolean
Optional

Flag indicating if Atlas should wrap the response in a JSON envelope.

This option may be needed for some API clients. These clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query.

For endpoints that return one result, the response body includes:

status
HTTP response code
envelope
Expected response body
false

This endpoint doesn't use HTTP request body parameters.

This endpoint does not have response elements.
