Delete multiple pages

[bryangomez7]

How can I delete multiple pages at once? I've created a specific folder with various pages inside and I need to delete them all. I know it can be done individually but there are almost 110 pages inside of that folder that needs to be deleted.

You can't.

A workaround is to use Git sync and delete them from your repository.

Good to know, thank you.

I wrote a script to delete all pages (can be easily adapted to delete some

param(
    [string] $apiKey,
    # Define the base URL for the Wiki.js API
    [string]$uri = "https://wiki.example.io/graphql"

)

if ([string]::IsNullOrEmpty( $apiKey)) {
    Write-Error "API key is required"
    Exit
}
# GraphQL query to list page IDs
$queryList = @"
query {
    pages {
      list {
        id
        title
     }
    }
}

"@

$headers = @{
    "Content-Type"  = "application/json"
    "Authorization" = "Bearer $apiKey"

}

# Get list of page IDs
$bodyList = @{
    query = $queryList
} | ConvertTo-Json

# Fetch the page IDs
$pageIds = (Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Method Post -Body $bodyList -Headers $headers).data.pages.list.id

Write-Host "Found $($pageIds.Count) pages to delete"

# Loop through each page ID and delete it
foreach ($id in $pageIds) {
    Write-Host "Deleting page ID $id"
    $queryDelete = @"
    mutation{
        pages{
          delete (id: $id) {
            responseResult {
              succeeded
              errorCode
            }
          }
        }
      }
"@

    $bodyDelete = @{
        query = $queryDelete
    } | ConvertTo-Json

    # Perform the deletion
    $response = (Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Method Post -Body $bodyDelete -Headers $headers)
    $result = $response.data.pages.delete.responseResult
    $isSuccess = $result.succeeded
    if (-not $isSuccess) {
        Write-Error "Failed to delete page ID $id : $($response.data.pages.delete.responseResult.errorCode). `n error: `n $($result.errorCode)`n $($result.message))"

        throw
    }
    Write-Host "Deleted page ID $id : $($response.data.pages.delete.message)"
}

Actually i had to do it when my git synced didn't delete pages after i rolled back some commits with force push, and then to resync git again.

@RingsGit Try debugging in request in https://wiki.example.com/graphql. Also, just in case, i've tested in pwsh version of Powershell.

@serrnovik thank you very much, I’m a complete novice when it comes to coding. Another question could you help? how to delete all assets/attachments~
