Add or Update Record (Blinded)
POST /mpi/v1/blindedRecord/{source}/{identifier}
Adds a new record or updates a previously created one in privacy-preserving (blinded) mode. Returns the record’s assigned person ID, along with any changes resulting from the addition or update.
To use this method you must have a local hashing service installed and use the hash demographics operation to get the hashed data. See Privacy-Preserving (Blinded) Mode for details.
Note
Partial updates are not supported; an update will completely replace the existing record. See
Understanding Matching for details.
