  • 1.  NextGen REST API vs AddChange

    Posted 02-20-2024 13:11

    Hi,
    with the NextGen REST API, do you have any idea what combination of request method and the 'x-method-override' and 'patchtype' headers is required to achieve behaviour identical to the Synch&AddChange of the MIF (link)? 
    That is:
    - create the record if it does not exist
    - update the primary record if it exists
    - update sub-records if they exist
    - leave sub-records not included in the request intact

    Hi Diego

    • Create the record if it does not exist: POST call with Params
    • Update the primary record if it exists: POST call with Params for a record ID and x-method-override : PATCH
    • Update sub-records if they exist & leave sub-records not included in the request intact : POST call with Params for a record ID and x-method-override : PATCH and patchtype:MERGE

    Framework matches child and update if finds match, otherwise leave them as it is or add new child if not found associated with Parent.

    Hope this clarifies.

    Hi Prashant ,
    t    hank you for the summary which confirms what I knew. 
    That's exactly why I was looking for a single REST API call that would work like the MIF Sync-AddChange.
    Thanks to a suggestion from @Biplab Choudhury I tried the BULK method and from initial tests it seems to address my requirement well.
