Hai I want to delete images from coludinary. When I try from nodejs it is working but from thunkable it is not working. I get page not found error in title tag. This is what I used. I also tried without timestamp. ![aaa](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/0/30a2d950c19c00e2bd2ea24ccb553fe3099a47f9.png) ---

Is a POST appropriate here, or is Cloudinary expecting a GET? ---

Yes, it should be **POST**. [Edit] I checked the documentation and following are two samples to delete an image and a video. ```auto curl https://api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/demo/image/destroy -X POST --data 'public_id=sample×tamp=173719931&api_key=436464676&signature=a788d68f86a6f868af' ``` ```auto curl https://api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/demo/image/destroy -X POST --data 'public_id=sample&resource_type=video×tamp=173719931&api_key=436464676&signature=a788d68f86a6f868af' ``` You will need to manually generate the `signature` using SHA-1 hashing to be able to complete the process. The signature should consist of: - Public\_id - Timestamp - Secret key and it should be in this order using = between the parameter and the value and & between each pair but not the `secret key` I also noticed from the examples above that these should go into `body query` not command line parameters. If my observation is correct then the image of the `Web API` given in the first post should not work. ---

Thanks for reply. I changed to body all parameters like this . Now also I get the same error. ![a2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/3/43ef387716653cba28da37cba772d3145ccf4c37.png) I took the time stamp from url uploaded by mediaDB. ---

Is that signature the result of hashing public\_id=y5b9oqtyqge6z3m2wwhf×tamp=1626015856 PLUS your api secret , as described here?

You have to create a signature, see this: > [@\[Solved\] Creating a cloudinary signature for API POST call](https://community.thunkable.com/t/solved-creating-a-cloudinary-signature-for-api-post-call/1041893/27): > > Think I finally have it @tatiang, @skulamester and others. Using [Convert Curl to HTTP Request](https://reqbin.com/req/c-w7oitglz/convert-curl-to-http-request) yesterday I realised that the hashify was not returning the right hash from the url parameters using thunkables webapi url alone. Add the header and the text to as the body and fist pumps. Still testing but the first 10 or so have worked grin crossed_fingers ---

You should be able to get uploading working without having to call the API - there’s sample code here: > **[Media DB by Cloudinary](https://docs.thunkable.com/media-db)** I’m going to ask my same question again - how did you hash your signature string? Looking at your project, I don’t see where you pass in the string to be hashed for the first API call. That might be an artifact of the copying process, but if not, that’s definitely a problem.
