Read golden records through the API

On this page

A golden record is the mastered representation produced when records have been resolved as the same subject. Its values follow the configured merger, while the expanded record response can expose the contributing records needed for review.

For the review workflow, see Read mastered records and history. A data view controls presentation; the API exposes that view alongside record data for clients that render it.

Inspect a record through the API

Use the table record endpoint and request expanded information:

curl --fail-with-body --silent --show-error \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${GOLDEN_TOKEN}" \
  "${GOLDEN_URL}/api/tables/sample_customer/records/CRM-0001?type=TABLE&expanded=true"

The response identifies the table and record. Depending on configuration and record state, it can also include:

contributing records in merged;
dataset and column descriptions; and
the resolved view for presentation.

Verify the result

Compare the mastered values with merged contributors and the configured merger. After a correction, read the record again and repeat the check after the next scheduled flow. Follow the investigation workflow before applying a duplicate decision.
