delete-message-batch¶

Description¶

Deletes up to ten messages from the specified queue. This is a batch version of `` DeleteMessage .`` The result of the action on each message is reported individually in the response.

Warning

Because the batch request can result in a combination of successful and unsuccessful actions, you should check for batch errors even when the call returns an HTTP status code of 200 .

Some actions take lists of parameters. These lists are specified using the param.n notation. Values of n are integers starting from 1. For example, a parameter list with two elements looks like this:

&AttributeName.1=first

&AttributeName.2=second

Synopsis¶

  delete-message-batch
--queue-url <value>
--entries <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--queue-url (string)

The URL of the Amazon SQS queue from which messages are deleted.

Queue URLs and names are case-sensitive.

--entries (list)

A list of receipt handles for the messages to be deleted.

(structure)

Encloses a receipt handle and an identifier for it.

Id -> (string)

An identifier for this particular receipt handle. This is used to communicate the result.

Note

The Id s of a batch request need to be unique within a request.

This identifier can have up to 80 characters. The following characters are accepted: alphanumeric characters, hyphens(-), and underscores (_).

ReceiptHandle -> (string)

A receipt handle.

Shorthand Syntax:

Id=string,ReceiptHandle=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Id": "string",
    "ReceiptHandle": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .
