To update a resource, a PUT request is sent to the URI of the resource to be updated. The body of the PUT request must contain the complete representation of the resource.
Tip:
  • A resource’s URI can be found in its _links.self.href field when the response media type is application/json+hal.
  • The _links field is considered metadata and is not required for PUT request bodies.

In the following example, a GET request is sent to the URI for a Resource Record resource. The resource received from the GET request is then sent back to the same URI in a PUT request, with the name field modified from "bc1" to "bc2". The API responds with a 200 OK status code and the updated resource.
