Merge resources by type

This route is listed in the supplied Ovok primitives reference. The merge request and response contract is implementation-specific and has not been confirmed in the available Ovok API schema, so this page records the route without inventing a payload.

MethodPath
POST/fhir/R4/:type/$merge

Contract status​

DetailCurrent documentation status
Resource type:type identifies the resource type for the merge operation.
Request bodyNot confirmed.
Source and target selectionNot confirmed.
Merge rules and history behaviorNot confirmed.

FHIR R4 does not define a generic resource-type $merge operation. Before using this route, obtain its Ovok OperationDefinition or an approved API contract, then document the required source/target inputs, authorization, merge semantics, and result.

Do not send a production request based only on this route listing. The FHIR R5 Patient $merge operation is a different, Patient-specific standard operation and does not define this route's contract.
