@RestResource(urlMapping='/mergeAccounts/*')
global class accountMergeAPI {
    @HttpPost
    global static MyMergeResponse[] accountMerge(MyMergeRequest[] request) {
        // implement custom merge
        return new MyMergeResponse[] {resp};
    }
    
    global class MyMergeRequest{
        public SObject masterRecord {get; set;}
        public ID[] recordToMergeIds {get; set;}
        public Map<String,String> AdditionalInformationMap {get;set;}
    } 
    
    global class MyError { 
        public String statusCode {get; set;} 
        public String message {get; set;} 
        public String[] fields{get; set;} 
    } 
    
    global class MyMergeResponse { 
        public MyError[] errors {get; set;} 
        public ID id {get; set;} 
        public ID[] mergedRecordIds {get; set;} 
        public Boolean success {get; set;} 
        public ID[] updatedRelatedIds {get; set;}
    } 
}
