/api/2/deletions/users ignore_invalid_ids not working

I am running the following:

 

import requests
import json
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

url = "https://amplitude.com/api/2/deletions/users"

payload = json.dumps({
 "user_ids": [
   "this_one_exists", "does_not_exist"
 ],
 "requester": "test@gmail.com",
 "ignore_invalid_ids": True,
})
headers = {
 'Content-Type': 'application/json',
 'Accept': 'application/json'
}
auth = HTTPBasicAuth('API_KEY', 'SECRET_KEY')
response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload, auth=auth)

print(response.text)

 

Notice that in user IDs, one value does exist on Amplitude, and the other doesn’t. I get the following response:

 

{'error': {'http_code': 400,
  'type': 'invalid',
  'message': 'Invalid definition',
  'metadata': {'details': 'invalid amplitude_ids and/or user_ids given for app [%s]. invalid amplitude ids: [%s], invalid user_ids: [%s]'}}}

 

My understanding is that the first should be added to the batch queue, and the second should be reported as an invalid ID. Am I doing something wrong here? Thank you!

Hello @Justin Trenor hope you are well!

 

Could you try the following call, please? This call worked for my personal project. 

import requests
import json

url = "https://amplitude.com/api/2/deletions/users"

payload = json.dumps({
  "user_ids": [
    "this_one_exists", "does_not_exist"
  ],
  "ignore_invalid_id": "true",
  "requester": "employee@yourcompany.com"
})
headers = {
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  'Authorization': 'Basic Auth'
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)
