REST: Delete an object

[Bob Baudewyns 3]

Looking for some help from Delphi community as I'm blocked with my project.

I am working with SynchroTeam API using their REST API. SynchroTeam API

I can successfully GET and POST data without any problem.
But I can't find out the right way to delete a job.. Delete a job

After downloading all jobs Object, I'm trying to delete some of them. So, I know ID, MyID and NUM properties of each Job.
However, when I'm using the following code:
 

RESTClient:= TRESTClient.Create('https://ws.synchroteam.com/api/v3');
with RESTClient do
begin
  Accept:= 'application/json';
  AcceptCharset:= 'UTF-8';
  Authenticator:= HTTPBasicAuthenticator;
  SecureProtocols := [THTTPSecureProtocol.TLS12];
end;

RESTRequest.Method:= TRESTRequestMethod.rmDELETE;
RESTRequest.Resource:= 'job/delete';
RESTRequest.AddParameter('Content-Type', 'application/json', TRESTRequestParameterKind.pkHTTPHEADER, [poDoNotEncode]);
RESTRequest.AddParameter('Accept', 'text/json', TRESTRequestParameterKind.pkHTTPHEADER, [poDoNotEncode]);
RESTRequest.AddParameter('myId', '467925', TRESTRequestParameterKind.pkQUERY, [poDoNotEncode]);

RESTRequest.Execute;

I get the error 404: Job does not exists. I'm 100% sur about myId. I also tried with ID property: same result.
I also tried with all relevant TRESTRequestParameterKind for myId parameter. I always get 404
 

What would be the correct way to delete a record using Delphi REST.Client.TRESTRequest ?
Thank you for your help

I think that, in your specific case, the SyncroTeam API site/forum/support would be better choice for learn about this "specific" error message by server.

I have found my (stupid) mistake.

I still had another object (me as user) as body from another request. I corrected that using

RESTRequest.Body.ClearBody;
RESTRequest.Params.Clear;

Case closed
