<div>
so you need to :<br />
- get the list of servers<br />
- get a list of services (general or using another REST call)<br />
- create two foreach loop to remove using the REST call in your question<br />
<br />
It's not clear what you've and what you don't

I am very new to Rest API. Does anyone know how to create a script that will allow me to create an array of servers called host and delete all services attached to the host. In Nagios XI example cURL request to remove service is:<br />
<br />
curl -XDELETE &quot;<a href="https://nagiosservername/nagiosxi/api/v1/config/service?apikey=JNKelhL55D47u6GvniX7Y8oOlaQQ2V2LI3YjjZnoCKun6qVsLSS0gAOUJUK2P23N&pretty=1&host_name=testapihost&service_description=PING&applyconfig=1" rel="ugc">https://nagiosservername/nagiosxi/api/v1/config/service?apikey=JNKelhL55D47u6GvniX7Y8oOlaQQ2V2LI3YjjZnoCKun6qVsLSS0gAOUJUK2P23N&pretty=1&host_name=testapihost&service_description=PING&applyconfig=1</a>&quot;<br />
<br />
What I need to do is delete 700 servers from my Nagios XI install. In order to do that I need to first delete all that is configured for each host including all the services and host groups.

Delete bulk services using text file, then delete host using text file

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.

Representational state transfer (REST) is an architectural style that gives a coordinated set of constraints to the design of components in a distributed hypermedia system used to design networked applications. RESTful systems typically communicate over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) with the same HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) that web browsers use to retrieve web pages and to send data to remote servers. REST interfaces with external systems using resources identified by Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be operated upon using standard verbs.

REST

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
