After accessing the REST client, perform the following steps:

Enter the URL for the API.
An example of a request for deactivating a single Blackout is:
https://localhost/tsws/10.0/api/appvis/synthetic/api/blackouts/deactivate
Add a new header row and select Authorization as the header type.
Enter the text authToken followed by the authToken generated through the login API.
Enter the Blackout ID in the request body.
Click Send.

Element	Description
authToken	Value of authToken

To deactivate, the request body must contain the list of Blackout IDs.

["95343ff6-e627-4874-91fd-bc3ed0c83873", "95343ff6-e627-4874-91fd-be3ed0c83872"]

An empty array is returned by the API if the deactivate was successful.

If the deactivate operation fails, the response returns a collection of Blackout IDs that could not be deactivated. For example,

[ "95343ff6-e627-4874-91fd-bc3ed0c83873", "95343ff6-e627-4874-91fd-be3ed0c83872"]
