  version: 2026.1.2
  description: 'The Verato Organization API provides comprehensive identity management capabilities for organizations within the Verato LINK platform. This API enables you to:


    - **Ingest and manage organization identities**: Add, update, and delete organization records with rich demographic and contact information.

    - **Search and query**: Find organizations using demographic data, native IDs, or link IDs (Verato''s golden identifier).

    - **Lifecycle management**: Soft-delete and restore organization records while preserving data history.

    - **Merge and link operations**: Consolidate duplicate organizations, manage master data relationships, and maintain data lineage.

    - **Relationship management**: Define and query relationships between organizations (parent-child, affiliations, etc.).

    - **Notifications**: Track and audit identity changes and events across your organization data.


    All operations follow a standard request/response envelope pattern with audit tracking, error handling, and optional response format customization.
