Hi guys,

I’d never seen this one before. I’m sending a deletion request looking like:

https://api.airtable.com/v0/appXXXX/MyData/recYYYY

Now if the record does not exist I always get a 404 with:

{“error”:{“type”:“MODEL_ID_NOT_FOUND”,“message”:“Record not found”}}

In one particular situation I get:

{“error”:{“type”:“MODEL_ID_NOT_FOUND”,“message”:“Could not find application by id recYYYY”}}

If somebody could explain why this happens or what this means that would be awesome!

This looks more like a wrong endpoint to me. I would double check the record first in this case.
