    I am trying to execute the RetrieveDuplicates function but it is not working.

    I can't find any sample for URL.

    CRm URL /api/data/v8.2/contacts(23ABFED6-AAE9-E611-80F3-C4346BACEBCC)/Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.RetrieveDuplicates(BusinessEntity=@tid,MatchingEntityName=@matchentity,PagingInfo=@pageinfo)?@tid={'@odata.id':'contacts(23ABFED6-AAE9-E611-80F3-C4346BACEBCC)'}&@matchentity={'@odata.type':'Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.contact'}&@pageinfo={'odata.Count':1000,'odata.PageNumber':1,'odata.PagingCookie':'','odata.ReturnTotalRecordCount':true}

    DId anyone find proper documentation for parameters? It doesn't even say if parameters are required or not.

    It doesn't work i agree and no documentation with example code.

    NO examples using directly URL e NO examples using XMLHttpRequest()

    Hello guys,

    It could be a bit late for an answer but here is the url that can be used to obtain duplicates for a record:

    [Org Url]/api/data/v8.2/RetrieveDuplicates(BusinessEntity=@p1,MatchingEntityName=@p2,PagingInfo=@p3)?@p2='contact'&@p1={'@odata.id':'contacts(7F485707-3FFA-E611-8108-3863BB34FA70)'}&@p3={'PageNumber':1,'Count':10}

    All credits go to "The Magician of WebApi" Urgen Postelmans.

    I don't understand the point of the function to Retrieve Duplicates...it appears to require the contact's id that you want to run a duplicate check on, isn't this what the existing duplicate detection built into CRM will do...with the exception that the CRM duplicate detection will actually perform the check prior to the save operation on a create form (but still not until after the user has spent time entering the form completely)?  Would be nice if the platform had a function to simply pass a serialized version of an entity and it would run a dup check against that.

    New content has been added to address this. See Manage duplicate detection for create and update operations using the Web API

    I believe that was in previous version as well but it doesn't answer initial question. Sorry for that.
