Excerpt

Create contentAdd tagged content to the system. The content must be published using endpoint 9003: Publish content before it can be accessed.

 

New tagged content is generally appended to the system - existing data is pushed back, but may still appear in searches depending on search limits, activeTo/activeFrom dates etc.

However in certain circumstances it can be desirable to replace content. This can be done using the overrideData field, which provides a dictionary to be matched against existing content data. When a single content item matches all tags and all overrideData fields, that content will be removed before the new data is created. If no content is matched the new content is created as usual. And if more than one item is matched, a 400.1 error will be reported, and no content created.
