# Update a record

> Updates an existing record.

Updates a record. The request body is validated against the resource's `updateRules`. The user must be authorized (admin or owner).

## Path parameters

<ParamField path="name" type="string" required>
  The resource name (e.g. `contact`, `order`).
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="id" type="integer" required>
  The record's ID.
</ParamField>

## Request body
