Amazon Cloud Directory will no longer be open to new customers starting on November 7, 2025. For alternatives to Cloud Directory, explore [Amazon DynamoDB](https://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/) and [Amazon Neptune](https://aws.amazon.com/neptune/). If you need help choosing the right alternative for your use case, or for any other questions, contact [AWS Support](https://aws.amazon.com/support/). # DetachObject Detaches a given object from the parent object. The object that is to be detached from the parent is specified by the link name. ## Request Syntax ``` PUT /amazonclouddirectory/2017-01-11/object/detach HTTP/1.1 x-amz-data-partition: DirectoryArn Content-type: application/json { "LinkName": "string", "ParentReference": { "Selector": "string" } } ``` ## URI Request Parameters The request uses the following URI parameters. ** [DirectoryArn](#API_DetachObject_RequestSyntax) ** The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that is associated with the [Directory](API_Directory.md) where objects reside. For more information, see [Arn Examples](arns.md). Required: Yes ## Request Body The request accepts the following data in JSON format. ** [LinkName](#API_DetachObject_RequestSyntax) ** The link name associated with the object that needs to be detached. Type: String Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 64. Pattern: `[^\/\[\]\(\):\{\}#@!?\s\\;]+` Required: Yes ** [ParentReference](#API_DetachObject_RequestSyntax) ** The parent reference from which the object with the specified link name is detached. Type: [ObjectReference](API_ObjectReference.md) object Required: Yes ## Response Syntax ``` HTTP/1.1 200 Content-type: application/json { "DetachedObjectIdentifier": "string" } ``` ## Response Elements If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response. The following data is returned in JSON format by the service. ** [DetachedObjectIdentifier](#API_DetachObject_ResponseSyntax) ** The `ObjectIdentifier` that was detached from the object. Type: String ## Errors For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see [Common Error Types](CommonErrors.md). ** AccessDeniedException ** Access denied or directory not found. Either you don't have permissions for this directory or the directory does not exist. Try calling [ListDirectories](API_ListDirectories.md) and check your permissions. HTTP Status Code: 403 ** DirectoryNotEnabledException ** Operations are only permitted on enabled directories. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** InternalServiceException ** Indicates a problem that must be resolved by Amazon Web Services. This might be a transient error in which case you can retry your request until it succeeds. Otherwise, go to the [AWS Service Health Dashboard](http://status.aws.amazon.com/) site to see if there are any operational issues with the service. HTTP Status Code: 500 ** InvalidArnException ** Indicates that the provided ARN value is not valid. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** LimitExceededException ** Indicates that limits are exceeded. See [Limits](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/clouddirectory/latest/developerguide/limits.html) for more information. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** NotNodeException ** Occurs when any invalid operations are performed on an object that is not a node, such as calling `ListObjectChildren` for a leaf node object. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** ResourceNotFoundException ** The specified resource could not be found. HTTP Status Code: 404 ** RetryableConflictException ** Occurs when a conflict with a previous successful write is detected. For example, if a write operation occurs on an object and then an attempt is made to read the object using “SERIALIZABLE” consistency, this exception may result. This generally occurs when the previous write did not have time to propagate to the host serving the current request. A retry (with appropriate backoff logic) is the recommended response to this exception. HTTP Status Code: 409 ** ValidationException ** Indicates that your request is malformed in some manner. See the exception message. HTTP Status Code: 400 ## Examples The following examples are formatted for legibility. ### Example Request This example illustrates one usage of DetachObject. ``` PUT /amazonclouddirectory/2017-01-11/object/detach HTTP/1.1 Host: clouddirectory.us-west-2.amazonaws.com Accept-Encoding: identity Content-Length: 105 Authorization: AWS4-HMAC-SHA256 Credential=AKIAI7E3BYXS3example/20171016/us-west-2/clouddirectory/aws4_request, SignedHeaders=host;x-amz-data-partition;x-amz-date, Signature=e994ca925acaa6fc6d03c9bc505e5f634fc0847563f32025ed500ea05bc5f389 x-amz-data-partition: arn:aws:clouddirectory:us-west-2:45132example:directory/AYb8AOV81kHNgdj8mAO3dNY X-Amz-Date: 20171016T231940Z User-Agent: aws-cli/1.11.150 Python/2.7.9 Windows/8 botocore/1.7.8 { "ParentReference": { "Selector": "$AQGG_ADlfNZBzYHY_JgDt3TWcU7IARvOTeaR09zme1sVsw" }, "LinkName": "link2" } ``` ### Example Response This example illustrates one usage of DetachObject. ``` HTTP/1.1 200 OK x-amzn-RequestId: 7d42c361-b2c8-11e7-81c0-7b48a7696e76 Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2017 23:19:41 GMT x-amzn-RequestId: 7d42c361-b2c8-11e7-81c0-7b48a7696e76 Content-Type: application/json Content-Length: 77 { "DetachedObjectIdentifier": "AQGG_ADlfNZBzYHY_JgDt3TWSvfuEnDqTdmeCuTs6YBNUA" } ``` ## See Also For more information about using this API in one of the language-specific AWS SDKs, see the following: + [AWS Command Line Interface V2](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/goto/cli2/clouddirectory-2017-01-11/DetachObject) + [AWS SDK for .NET V4](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/goto/DotNetSDKV4/clouddirectory-2017-01-11/DetachObject) + [AWS SDK for C\$1\$1](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/goto/SdkForCpp/clouddirectory-2017-01-11/DetachObject) + [AWS SDK for Go v2](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/goto/SdkForGoV2/clouddirectory-2017-01-11/DetachObject) + [AWS SDK for Java V2](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/goto/SdkForJavaV2/clouddirectory-2017-01-11/DetachObject) + [AWS SDK for JavaScript V3](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/goto/SdkForJavaScriptV3/clouddirectory-2017-01-11/DetachObject) + [AWS SDK for Kotlin](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/goto/SdkForKotlin/clouddirectory-2017-01-11/DetachObject) + [AWS SDK for PHP V3](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/goto/SdkForPHPV3/clouddirectory-2017-01-11/DetachObject) + [AWS SDK for Python](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/goto/boto3/clouddirectory-2017-01-11/DetachObject) + [AWS SDK for Ruby V3](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/goto/SdkForRubyV3/clouddirectory-2017-01-11/DetachObject)
