PUT /v1/groups/:id

Update a group.

Params

To update a group, a data body must be provided. Data can be provided in three formats: XML, JSON and query string. To specify data type of XML or JSON add the Content-type: application/(json|xml) header to request headers. If you want to provide query string simply skip the Content-type header.

All params should be sent in the group namespace, e.g.:

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<group>
  <name>New Group Name</name>
  <items type="array">
    <item>dCDf9QDNyr4PMj5bfBjDYC</item>
    <item>deug5QDNyr4PMj5bfBjDYC</item>
  </items>
</group>

JSON

{"group":{"name":"New Group Name","items":["dCDf9QDNyr4PMj5bfBjDYC","deug5QDNyr4PMj5bfBjDYC"]}}

Query string

group[name]=New Group Name&group[items]=...
