Hello,
Metabase API documentation up to v0.46 describes two APIs to add/delete cards to/from existing dashboards, namely:
POST /api/dashboard/:id/cards
It seems to me that from v0.47 on these two APIs suddenly disappeared without even being deprecated. As a result a python script I have that use these now gets:
"API endpoint does not exist."
Is this expected?
Are there new ways to accomplish the same with Metabase versions > 0.46?
Thanks in advance!

Indeed there was a refactoring in which we removed post and delete endpoints. Everything now is handled by PUT, for reference
metabase:master ← metabase:dashboard-bulk-create-delete
opened 09:26AM - 29 Mar 23 UTC
Milestone 0 of https://github.com/metabase/metabase/issues/29502
### Motivati… on
Currently, the APIs we used to create and delete dashcards are not bulked, which means if you edit a dashboard and add 5 cards to it, FE will calls `POST /dashboard/cards` 5 times.
That's not cool and we want to do bulk operations instead. So to do that we'll Remove
- `DELETE /api/dashboard/:id/cards`
- `POST /api/dashboard/:id/cards`
Update `PUT /api/dashboard/:id/cards` to handle bulks create/update/delete at the same time.
it takes a payload with keys `cards`
- to create cards, include a card with a negative id
- to delete cards, don't include that card in the payload
- to update cards, update card information in the cards payload

Adding and removing cards and confirming revision history is correct.
