If the URL contains characters like ';' or '&' they may be interpreted specially by the shell. To avoid it, add the URL within single ''' or double '"' qoutes. You can either add or update or delete record(s) in one instance. A combination of these operations are not supported in a single instance. The same URL cannot be added twice. You can update tags and title data or delete it.
