How To Delete A Metafield

[Terry_Middleton]

How do you delete a metafield in Ruby on Rails?

I got how to Add a metafield and update, but seem to not be able to delete.  Has anyone does this before?

Hi Terry,

you can delete a Metafield by making a DELETE request to /admin/metafields/*********.json. Here are the docs http://docs.shopify.com/api/metafield#destroy. If you are using our ruby API gem then you can call destroy() on the object and it should delete it.

How would this be done using the Python package?

When you create a metafield you will be returned an resource with an ID. You can then just simply delete the resource.

metafield = ShopifyAPI::Metafield.find(SOME_META_ID)
metafield.destroy
