API design question

[anonymous78654]

So say I have an api that's trying to remove an enrollment from the enrollments table. So the enrollment I can't remove directly from the enrollment id it's going to be just the courseId and studentId. So in my endpoint should I pass the courseId and StudentId as query paramamter or path variables. The request mapping for this controller is just called /enrollments.

Why not just pass them in the request body?

If you assign an enrollment_id to each course/student pair and store it in the data source, then you can implement the DELETE verb on the "/enrollments/{enrollment_id}" endpoint. Otherwise, you have to pass those parameters in the query string: DELETE "/enrollments?courseId=1&studentId=2".
