Is there a way to merge master records via APIs?

Is there a way to merge master records via APIs? Is there a way to bulk merge?


If I have a list of suggestedMergeIds, can I use them to perform merges for each?

Hello Hitesh,


I'm not sure to fully understand your use case here.


Because when integrating with REST API, as match & merge is a phase of the certification process, matching and merging on the integrated records will be handled there.


Maybe you would like to use a REST API endpoint to force merge records afterwards, by bulk?

A little bit like what we propose via SQL:

This need has already been identified in an open story.

If you want me to add your company as a related customer, then I can open a ticket based on this forum.

This way we can exchange one on one regarding this internal request and I can link it to the support ticket for you to follow-up its R&D status.

Thank you for sharing the SQL option.

We already use Rest API calls to load records into SD_* tables. We are looking for use Rest API to enforce splitting of certain records that change at source. I have gone through the SQL documentation for the same.
Can we use Rest API calls to make changes in UM_* tables as mentioned in the SQL documentation and then load the records into SD_* to replay matching?

If not so, does the feature requested in this discussion provide what I am asking and is it  available in version 2025.1.2 ?
