  title: Fastly Purge by Surrogate Key
  summary: Confirm a service exists, then instantly purge all objects tagged with a surrogate key.
  description: >-
    Surrogate keys let you invalidate a logical group of cached objects (for
    example everything tagged with a product id) in one call. This workflow
    first confirms the target service exists and then issues a soft or hard
    purge for the supplied surrogate key. Every step spells out its request
    inline so the flow can be read and executed without opening the underlying
    OpenAPI description.
