Unsupported request methods

The following http verbs are unsupported. Usage of these verbs will result in a 405 - Method not allowed error:

  • OPTIONS
  • HEAD
  • PATCH is used for partially modify a resource. However it's unsupported on Atlas. Use the PUT method to update objects, which requires providing the full object.
  • TRACE
  • CONNECT

Updating Data

The http PATCH method is designed for partial updates, and is unsupported by the Atlas API. Instead, you must use the PUT method for full object replacement when you want to update data.

A PUT request is for full object replacement. So you must provide full objects with all fields to an endpoint in order to make an update. Not all fields are mutable. Those that are will take on the new values provided in the PUT request. However, not all endpoints support the PUT method. Those that don't are not mutable data. Examples include balances, transactions, positions, holdings, etc.

Most endpoints allow you to update a single object or multiple objects, using a PUT method for both cases.
