Parameters

Authentication

This API call requires Basic Authentication, i.e. you have to provide an HTTP authorization header using the authorization method Basic and the base64 encoded string App-ID:App-Secret (therefore the transport is secured using TLS/SSL). To receive the necessary BWS Web API access data (App-ID and App-Secret) you have to register your application on the BWS Portal first. This requires a valid BWS subscription.

private static async Task<bool> DeleteClassAsync(string bcid)
{
	using (var client = new HttpClient())
	{
		client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes($"{APP_IDENTIFIER}:{APP_SECRET}")));
		using (var response = await client.DeleteAsync(ENDPOINT + $"deleteclass?bcid={bcid}"))
		{
			Console.WriteLine("DeleteClass response... " + response.IsSuccessStatusCode);
			return response.IsSuccessStatusCode;
		}
	}
}
