Hello everyone,

Does anyone have already done this type of task ?

I've a script to add a group on project using REST API but I can't solved the deletion part.

Thank you in advance for helping me.

Hi Aymeric,

I noticed a small mistake in your delete request:

response = requests.delete(url, headers=headers, auth=auth, json={'group': [group_name]})

Your query should be in 'params' instead of 'json'

response = requests.delete(url, headers=headers, auth=auth, params={'group': [group_name]})

After making this change, everything should work perfectly! :)
