How do I authenticate PATCH /api/v1/people/{public_id}?

Send your per-user API key as Authorization: Bearer or use the X-Api-Key header with the same value on every request.

Where can I try this endpoint interactively?

Use Swagger UI (Authorize with your key) or the in-browser API playground linked from the API documentation. Both match the published OpenAPI specification.

People

Update person

PATCH /api/v1/people/{public_id} on the Little Outreach JSON API. Send Authorization: Bearer or X-Api-Key on every request.

Description

Updates a Person and records a fresh citation on the same transaction. The citation is
always required on writes — send it as `source_reference` (or the aliases `source` /
`citation`). Fields inside `person` are optional; omit a field to leave it unchanged.

Setting a new `public_id` changes the stable URL id — it must be 32 hex characters and
must be unique across all People.

Requires `can_edit`. Costs one credit.
