Parameter Description
dictionary #
type: string
Required

Type of the dictionary entries you want to delete. Can be either stopword, plural or compound

Dictionary entry objectIDs.

objectID isn’t a reference to an Algolia record: it’s the unique identifier for a dictionary object.

default: No request options
Optional

A mapping of requestOptions to send along with the request.

Response # A

This section shows the JSON response returned by the API. Each API client encapsulates this response inside objects specific to the programming language, so that the actual response might be different. You can view the response by using the getLogs method. Don’t rely on the order of attributes in the response, as JSON doesn’t guarantee the ordering of keys in objects.
