Create or Update (PUT)

Use PUT /v1/services/dashboardServices instead of POST to perform an upsert. If a dashboard service with the same fullyQualifiedName already exists, it will be updated; otherwise, a new service is created. The request body is the same as POST.

curl -X PUT "{base_url}/api/v1/services/dashboardServices" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ ... same body as POST ... }'

PUT will not return a 409 conflict error if the entity already exists — it will update the existing entity instead. However, for certain fields (such as description, tags, owners, and custom properties), PUT preserves an already-populated value instead of overwriting it with an empty or omitted one — the exact behavior depends on the field and the calling user or bot’s permissions, not a blanket rule. See Entity Update Behavior for the full preserve/merge rules. Use PATCH to intentionally replace an existing value.

Bulk Create or Update (PUT)

Use PUT /v1/services/dashboardServices/bulk to create or update multiple dashboard services in a single request. The request body is an array of create request objects.

curl -X PUT "{base_url}/api/v1/services/dashboardServices/bulk" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '[
    { "name": "service_one", "serviceType": "Superset", "connection": { "config": {} } },
    { "name": "service_two", "serviceType": "Looker", "connection": { "config": {} } }
  ]'
