Video API, gRPC: EpisodeService.BatchDelete

Written by
Updated at November 25, 2025

Deletes multiple episodes associated with a specific stream or stream line in a single request.
This is more efficient than making multiple Delete requests when removing several episodes.

gRPC request

rpc BatchDelete (BatchDeleteEpisodesRequest) returns (operation.Operation)

BatchDeleteEpisodesRequest

{
  // Includes only one of the fields `stream_id`, `line_id`
  "stream_id": "string",
  "line_id": "string",
  // end of the list of possible fields
  "episode_ids": [
    "string"
  ]
}

Field

Description

stream_id

episode_ids[]

string

List of episode IDs to delete.
All episodes must exist and be linked to the specified parent resource.

The number of elements must be in the range 1-100. The maximum string length in characters for each value is 50.

If done == false and there was no failure detected, neither error nor response is set.
If done == false and there was a failure detected, error is set.
If done == true, exactly one of error or response is set.

response

google.protobuf.Empty

The normal response of the operation in case of success.
If the original method returns no data on success, such as Delete,
the response is google.protobuf.Empty.
If the original method is the standard Create/Update,
the response should be the target resource of the operation.
Any method that returns a long-running operation should document the response type, if any.
