Update Index
The Update Index API allows you to update a block of JSON or a specific entity within a resume or job description (JD) without requiring document parsing through the ResumeParser or JDParser API.
Currently, the ParseAndIndex method requires the complete Resume or JD
document. It uses the ResumeParser or JDParser API to parse the document and then
indexes or updates it based on the parsed JSON. This process consumes 2 credits.
The Update Index API is a more efficient option when you only need to update or delete a specific part of the JSON, such as a block or entity, in a resume or JD. You only need the document's indexed ID and the details you want to modify or remove, and it uses just 1 credit.
- In the Search and Match v3.0 API, you can update or delete any entity in both resumes and JDs.
- In the Search and Match v4.0, updates and deletions are supported for resumes only. JDs currently do not support update or delete functionality through the v4.0 API.

In Resume insert operations, City, State, Country, CurrentCity, CurrentState, CurrentCountry, CurrentEmployerCity, CurrentEmployerState, CurrentEmployerCountry, PreferredCity, PreferredState, PreferredCountry, EmployerCity, EmployerState, EmployerCountry, and InstituteCity, InstituteState, InstituteCountry are handled through their respective geo-location mapping fields such as AddressGeoLocation, CurrentGeoLocation, CurrentExperienceGeoLocation, PreferredGeoLocation, ExperienceGeoLocation, and EducationGeoLocation. In JD insert operations, JobLocationCity, JobLocationState, and JobLocationCountry are handled through JobGeoLocation. In remove operations, the corresponding mapped fields are also considered.
Degree fields:
In Resume insert and remove operations, HighestDegree and Degree also affect related mapping fields such as Specialization. In JD insert and remove operations, qualification fields are also processed through these related degree mapping fields.
While updating the degree, the inserted value is normalized using the taxonomy dataset
Name fields:
In Resume insert operations, FullName is implemented through the mapped fields TitleName, FirstName, MiddleName, and LastName.
Job profile title:
In JD remove operations, JobProfileTitle also applies to related mapping fields such as JobProfileFormattedName, JobProfileAlias, JobProfileRelatedSkills, and Domains.
