Details

Updates a single author by source network ID on the default instance of the source network. The ID passed in the URL must exist in Care or the call will fail.

See About Author API PUT actions for important details.

Use this for a networktype of "facebook", or "instagram" where there is a single, default instance. If the network is of type "crm" or "lithium" where there can be multiple instances, use:
/authors/networks/networktype/instances/networkinstance/ids/networkid

{
"handles": {
     "crm": [
          {
               "networkinstance": "sfdc1",
               "id": "394502",
               “customFieldName": "customFieldValue"
          }
          ],
     "facebook": [
          {
               "id": 123456789012345,
          }
          ]
     }

Path Params
string
required

The type of network that manages content created by or about an author. Supported values are: "instagram", "facebook", "googleplus", "lithium", "crm"

For a networktype of value "lithium" or "crm" you must also pass the networkinstance, because these types of networks can have multiple instances as opposed Instagram, Facebook, or Google+ that have only a single, default network.

The Author API supports "instagram", "facebook", "googleplus", "lithium", and "crm" only as values for networktype.

string
required

The internal ID of the author generated by the network. For Facebook, this is the PSID. Compare this to the the externally used networkhandle. The network ID must be unique to a given networkinstance.
