Cant Delete Multiple Devices

[xBr0th3rx]

Is there a way to delete a whole lot of devices at once? because clicking Delete and entering the ID as confirmation each time is annoying.

Greetings

@xBr0th3rx There is no need for confirmation when using the API, so if it's a viable use case to you, you could use the API instead.

Here is a small Bash script to delete multiple devices by their GUID.

#!/bin/env bash

set -euo pipefail

readonly api_url='https://rustdesk.example.com/api'
readonly api_auth_token='Foo/Bar_Secret=='

# Device GUIDs can be found in the device's detailed panel (the one that opens when clicking on the ID from the "Device List" table)
device_guids=(
    '3fb92280-59bc-93b5-8593-687efe41356f'
    # …
)

for device_guid in "${device_guids[@]}" ; do
    # Disable
    curl \
        --dump-header /dev/stderr \
        --output - \
        --silent \
        -X PUT \
        --url "${api_url}/enable-peers" \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer ${api_auth_token}" \
        -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
        --data-raw '{"rows":["'${device_guid}'"],"disable":true}'

    # Delete
    curl \
        --dump-header /dev/stderr \
        --output - \
        --silent \
        -X DELETE \
        --url "${api_url}/devices/${device_guid}" \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer ${api_auth_token}"
done

Possible modifications of the script:

• call /enable-peers only once instead of once per device
• fetch GUID from a list of device names, or IP, or user, etc.
