Hello,
I am attempting at writing a connector for the v7 REST API. Currently wondering if there is any mechanism for deleting/changing a list of similar items.
Documentation for the DELETE verb only mentions deleting by key.
A POST at the (say) ip/address/disable or ip/address/destroy with a .query selector return an empty array [] and not an error, but also don't seem to do anything. (while a print with the same .query does work.

Any help is appreciated.

QUERY is not supposed to work that way.
You should use query to get item IDs, and then use those ids to execute delete.

Ah, so there is no way to atomically delete a collection of matching items? And why it returns an empty array [ ] if the query isn't allowed?

because delete returns ids that i has deleted, since you did not delete anything array is empty.
