Invoke-RestMethod -Method Delete Base Request

Question

I'm at a loss. I can run the following and it works flawlessly

Invoke-RestMethod 'https://deerlakes.freshservice.com/api/v2/vendors/13000042524' -Headers $FDHeaders -Method Get

But as soon as I run

Invoke-RestMethod 'https://deerlakes.freshservice.com/api/v2/vendors/13000042524' -Headers $FDHeaders -Method Delete

I get a bad request

Invoke-RestMethod : The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request. At line:19 char:1 + Invoke-RestMethod 'https://deerlakes.freshservice.com/api/v2/vendors/ ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-RestMethod], WebException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeRestMethodCommand

What could I possibly be doing wrong?

400 normally means the request is expecting something different to what you are passing. This could be in the form of the url looking different, or some missing/extranious variables - you might need to check the api reference for how to properly call delete on that endpoint — Bassie

My problem was that their was a contract associated with the vendor in Freshservice that wouldn't allow me to delete the vendor.
