SlotConfigurations resource (Data API 23.2)

Summary

Http Method Resource Description
PUT /sites/{site_id}/slots/{slot_id}/slot_configurations/{configuration_id} Creates a new configuration for an existing slot. If a slot configuration exists with the specified configuration_id, slot_id, and context, the existing slot configuration is overwritten.
PATCH /sites/{site_id}/slots/{slot_id}/slot_configurations/{configuration_id} Updates an existing slot configuration. This action ignores the slot_id and the context information in the input document. Note that this operation will not touch any relational properties, which means, that e.g. the rank on a specific campaign assignment will not be changed, when the rank for the slot configuration itself is updated.
GET /sites/{site_id}/slots/{slot_id}/slot_configurations/{configuration_id} Action to read an existing slot configuration.
DELETE /sites/{site_id}/slots/{slot_id}/slot_configurations/{configuration_id} Removes a configuration for slot in a given context from a site.
