Unmerge Entity by Contributor URI

Learn more about entity unmerge

If an entity is composite (result of a merge), every contributor entity can be unmerged to be a standalone entity again.
Note: You can only perform an unmerge operation on contributor profiles (e.g. entities). It's not possible to unmerge a crosswalk. For example, if two crosswalks belong to the same contributor, you're limited to eliminating or reloading them.
Table 1. Parameters
Parameter Required Details
Headers Authorization Yes Information about authentication access token in format "Bearer <accessToken>" (see details in Authentication API).
PathidYesEntity ID from from which a contributor will be unmerged
Query contributorURI Yes Contributor URI (some other entity that has been merged to "origin" previously) to unmerge

Sample request

Spawn must be the part of Origin at the moment. If it's not, an error will be returned. Parts of actual entities can be seen in the crosswalk tree.

POST {ApplicationURI}/api/{tenantId}/entities/{id}/_unmerge?contributorURI=<spawn URI>

Sample response

Returns a pair of entities, "a" and "b", where "a" stands for the modified Origin and "b" for Spawn:
