Moss - Real-time Semantic Search for Conversational AI

Delete a web source. The source, its refresh schedule, and the pages it crawled are removed. The index itself stays, along with everything else in it: pages from other web sources and documents you added directly. Use deleteIndex to remove the whole index and every source on it. The pages are removed by a purge job. Until it completes, the source reports status removing and still appears in listWebSources; afterwards it is gone. Poll purgeJobId with getJobStatus to know when the index no longer contains the source’s pages. A crawl that is still queued for the source is cancelled and the delete goes ahead. A crawl that is already running blocks the delete with 409; retry after it completes. Required fields: sourceId

Field	Type	Required	Notes
`sourceId`	string	✅	Web source ID returned by `createWebSource` or `listWebSources`.
