POST:   api/v1/accounts/1/actions/contact_merge
PARAMS: { 
                    base_contact_id: 3
                    mergee_contact_id: 1
                }

• base contact should be the id of the contact you created/found via API
• mergee contact id can be the contact with the random name ..

[NitinNR]

Can't we pass multiple ids in mergee_contact_id?

[sojan-official]

Nope, you will need to make individual requests for each contact at the moment

[NitinNR]

Do we have any plan to do so ?

[sojan-official]

@NitinNR it is not a priority at the moment. Since we have a workaround for this, at one can perform individual requests for each id
