My server side can receive new row request, but edit and remove doesn't come through

I have a very simple flask app set up to test Editor. Right now adding a new row works well, but when I click the edit/remove button, it seems like my backend is not receiving any HTTP request.

Looks like I'm missing something on my client side, can't tell what it is since I basically have the same code as the sample.

Below is my client-side code:

var editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor( {
ajax: '/api/staff',
table: '#table_id',
fields: [
{ label: 'First name', name: 'first_name' },
{ label: 'Last name', name: 'last_name' },
// etc
]
} );

$('#table_id').DataTable( {
ajax: '/api/staff',
dom: 'Bfrtip',
columns: [
    { data: 'first_name' },
    { data: 'last_name' },
    // etc
],
select: true,
buttons: [
    { extend: 'create', editor: editor },
    { extend: 'edit',   editor: editor },
    { extend: 'remove', editor: editor }
]

} );

Ok I figured it out, you have to have a row identifier in the Ajax load...
(should perhaps add that to the documentation)
