Delete ES|QL datasets

Deletes one or more datasets used in ES|QL data federation. If any specified dataset does not exist, the request fails and no datasets are deleted.

Required authorization

Authorization: <value>

Elasticsearch APIs use key-based authentication. You must create an API key and use the encoded value in the request header. For example:

		curl -X GET "${ES_URL}/_cat/indices?v=true" \
  -H "Authorization: ApiKey ${API_KEY}"

For more information about where to find API keys for the Elasticsearch endpoint (${ES_URL}) for a project, go to Get started with Elasticsearch Serverless.
