Purge API - how to delete messages and media content?

Hi guys,

I am struggling with API. Want to make a cron task that will clean up a specific room (delete ALL messages) say every 24h. I am using the following command:

curl --header "Authorization: Bearer [my token]" -XPOST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "purge_up_to_ts": 36000 }' "http://localhost:8003/_synapse/admin/v1/purge_history/[room_id]"

I get the following response - {“errcode”:“M_NOT_FOUND”,“error”:“there is no event to be purged”}

Similar issue happens with media folder. I use the following command:

curl --header "Authorization: Bearer [my token]" -XPOST "http://localhost:8003/_synapse/admin/v1/media/[server_name]/delete?before_ts=36000" and I get “{“deleted_media”:[],“total”:0}”

Any advice on how to fix it would be highly appreciated.

I’m going to close this as it doesn’t seem to be a bug in synapse.

@dklimpel Yes, I understand the timestamp issue but even using 1624320000000 for timestamp gives me ‘curl no URL specified!’ error.

This is a curl problem. But without full command line there is no chance for help. Also the is a help romm in matrix: #synapse:matrix.org
