Deletes FHIR resources that match a search query. Implements the FHIR standard conditional delete interaction (DSTU2, STU3, R4). If multiple resources match, all matching resources are deleted. Search terms are provided as query parameters following the same pattern as the search method. Not all FHIR resources that match the search query might be deleted because, by default, a maximum of 100 FHIR resources can be deleted. The number of FHIR resources that can be deleted depends on the page size of the returned resources, which you can control using the _count query parameter. Even when using _count, you can delete a maximum 1,000 FHIR resources per each call of conditionalDelete. Note: Unless resource versioning is disabled by setting the disable_resource_versioning flag on the FHIR store, the deleted resources are moved to a history repository that can still be retrieved through vread and related methods, unless they are removed by the purge method. This method requires thehealthcare.fhirStores.searchResources and healthcare.fhirResources.delete permissions on the parent FHIR store. For samples that show how to call conditionalDelete, see Conditionally deleting a FHIR resource.

Scopes

You will need authorization for at least one of the following scopes to make a valid call:

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-healthcare
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-healthcare. You can set the scope for this method like this: healthcare1-beta1 --scope <scope> projects locations-datasets-fhir-stores-fhir-conditional-delete ...

Required Scalar Arguments

  • <parent> (string)
    • Required. The name of the FHIR store this resource belongs to.
  • <type> (string)
    • Required. The FHIR resource type to delete, such as Patient or Observation. For a complete list, see the FHIR Resource Index (DSTU2, STU3, R4).

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.
