Clearing existing restFunctionService and API key question

If I start a webservice rest API, how do I go about clearing it after it's finished/closed?

For example, let's create the service called "myService" that allows access to function addNumbers

service = restFunctionService("myService",["addNumbers"]); 

I can run

service.close

or even

 clear service

However, if I try to run

restFunctionService("myService",["addNumbers"]);

again MATLAB complains that "myService" already exists (in fact it's even still visible in the restFunctionServices dictionary). Only way to recreate the service is by restarting MATLAB.

Also, is there anyway to set the user API key manually or set it to null?

Hi @Adan,

I too encountered the similar issue, you need to use following command before clearing the service. Since the service was still running in the memory that's why you were getting the error of "service already exists".

delete service

For better understanding of workflow of creating and using the "restFunctionService", refer to the following command Window image"
