Qfyilyi

In new qna maker v4 i am using the apis to create a new question i am able to create one but i don't get the back the unique id to update or delete the record. I am using PATCH Update Knowledgebase to add a new record/qna pair and GET Operation details to see if the operation succeed, But nowhere can i find the unique id. Can i have some pointers

These are the two API'S i am using
Operations, Update Knowlagebase

second request made using operationId from above 03a4f4ce-30a6-4ec6-b436-02bcdf6153e1

}

Still no qna unique ID which is required to edit the qna

}

}
}

Where will i get the id from 443 that is required to edit the question. The solution provided is one additional call to qna maker and if i want to bulk edit than its not the solution

Please be more clear with the structure of your question.

What I understand is that you want to do these two things:

• modify a Question and Answer Pair


• remove a Question and Answer Pair

Before you do any of those two things you need to retrieve the question and answer pairings using this API below.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/qnamaker/quickstarts/csharp#get-answers-to-a-question-by-using-a-knowledge-base

Using this API guide (change the programming language dependent on your code), it returns a JSON response. That JSON response will hold the unique 'id's' of each answer to the question.

Hope this helps!
