Finding duplicates in mdm using external API

Question

Hello,I have a question regarding MDM services. So there are different services that are already predefined in the services tab of the MDM project and we can use them easily  Some of the services are predefined and some are configurable. Now what I wanted to know is that is there a service which I can use to detect duplicates from the MDM system. So basically if I send some record information in the soap call it should tell me based on the matching logic defined in the matching step that the sent record is matched with any record or not in the MDM. Is that possible? I did try the “Process Match” part but that works differently and does not address the above use case.Thank you.

Hi ​@Yasharth Misra,I believe you are looking for an Identify service.Input: one instance-like record (the attributes you would normally load/create).Logic used: your entity’s configured mastering logic (typically cleansing + matching “under the hood”), i.e., it uses the matching rules defined in the Matching step to decide similarityOutput: eitherno match (record seems unique), ormatch metadata + the matched master record (and sometimes proposals depending on implementation/service variant).You can read more about the Identify service in the doc here.
