You can use POSTMAN to try out your HTTP requests using the RESTful API for ThingSpeak. This example shows how to clear a channel using POSTMAN.

Here is the format of the HTTP request.

In POSTMAN, select DELETE from the drop-down list of HTTP verbs.
In the address bar, enter https://api.thingspeak.com/channels/<channelID>.json, replacing <channelID> with the ID of the channel you want to remove.
Under the Body section, choose x-www-form-urlencoded.
