[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Syntax for merge_requests API call

[Arnold, Hillel]

Hi Kevin,
It looks like you need to post a target URI plus an array of victims URIs to that endpoint, so something like:

{ 
	"target" : {"ref": "/agents/corporate_entities/40"},
	"victims": [
		{ "ref": "/agents/corporate_entities/38" },
		{ "ref": "/agents/corporate_entities/39" }
		]
}

FWIW, I've found the JSONmodel schemas to be pretty useful in reverse-engineering API calls: https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/tree/master/common/schemas

    Hi all,
    
    I'm trying to use the API to POST a merge request[1]. The
    documentation is missing an example of what is actually posted.
    Before I dig too much deeper, does anyone know the syntax for the
    POST?  Is it the entire JSON objects of the target and victim, in an
    array? Just the URIs? Something else?
    
    Best,
    
    Kevin
