Parameters

Parameter	Description
`dictionary`	type: string Required Type of the dictionary entries you want to delete. Can be either `stopword`, `plural` or `compound`
`objectIDs`	type: array Optional Dictionary entry `objectID`s. `objectID` isn’t a reference to an Algolia record: it’s the unique identifier for a dictionary object.
`requestOptions`	type: key-value mapping default: No request options Optional A mapping of `requestOptions` to send along with the request.

Response

This section shows the JSON response returned by the API. Each API client encapsulates this response inside objects specific to the programming language, so that the actual response might be different. You can view the response by using the getLogs method. Don’t rely on the order of attributes in the response, as JSON doesn’t guarantee the ordering of keys in objects.

Field	Description
