Update profile by alternate id (PATCH)

This method allows for partial modifications to be applied to a specific profile using the combination of the alternateId and alternateIdType parameters. The profile will only be updated with the information specified in the path and the values included in the request body.

The HTTP PATCH request method applies partial modifications to a resource. Click here to learn about using PATCH.

The MyPreferences API supports add, replace, remove, and test PATCH operations. The API does not support move and copy PATCH operations.

In the JSON body of your request, send the op, path, and value parameters:

  • op denotes the type of operation to execute such as add, replace, remove, or test.
  • path denotes the path of the target location on the resource to update.
  • value denotes the value to apply.

Note: When removing multiple elements from an array object, send the remove operations in descending order to keep the indices intact.
