Delete an inference endpoint

DELETE /_inference/{task_type}/{inference_id}
DELETE /_inference/{inference_id}

This API requires the manage_inference cluster privilege (the built-in inference_admin role grants this privilege).

Authentication

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.
