A purge request is submitted by sending a POST request to the /ccu/v2/queues/default or /ccu/v2/queues/emergency resource. The Content-Type must be application/json.

To construct the request object:

Optionally specify a JSON pair for type, which is either arl or cpcode. type defaults to “arl” if omitted. With “objects” as the key, provide a JSON array of valid ARLs, URLs, or both, when “arl” is the type. For “cpcode” type, supply an array of CP codes.
