Update a label

This API method changes a label. Requires `labels:write`. The acting user is the key owner, or the `X-On-Behalf-Of` user. It waits for the change and returns the label with `200`, or `202 Accepted` with an operation to poll. Send only the fields you want to change; at least one field is required. The field you do not send keeps its current value. Errors: `400 VALIDATION_ERROR` (`details.fields`), `400 INVALID_REQUEST_BODY`, `403 ON_BEHALF_OF_NOT_ALLOWED`, `403 FORBIDDEN`, `404 RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND` (the label does not exist), and the `Idempotency-Key` codes.

PATCH
/v2/labels/{id}

Authorization

bearerAuth labels:write
AuthorizationBearer <token>

API key sent as Authorization: Bearer vt_live_<secret>. See the Authentication and Scopes sections at the top of this document for how keys are created, which scopes exist and how the key owner's role limits them.

In: header

Scope: labels:write

Path Parameters

id*string

resource ID.

Header Parameters

Idempotency-Key?string

optional key (1 to 255 printable ASCII characters) that makes a write request safe to retry. Keys are retained for 24 hours per API key. Retrying with the same key and the same request within those 24 hours replays the original response (with the Idempotent-Replayed header). Reusing the key with a different request returns 422 IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED; retrying while the first request is still running returns 409 IDEMPOTENCY_REQUEST_IN_PROGRESS; an invalid key returns 400 INVALID_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY.

Length1 <= length <= 255
X-On-Behalf-Of?string

ID of the user the write is performed for. Requires the users:act-on-behalf scope, and the key owner must manage the target user; otherwise the request fails with 403 ON_BEHALF_OF_NOT_ALLOWED. Ignored on GET requests.
