# Update Model

PUT https://app.polytomic.com/api/models/{id}
Content-Type: application/json

Updates a model's configuration.

Updating a model is a **full replacement** of its configuration. Every field in
the request body is written to the model; any field you omit is cleared or reset
to its default value.

To make a partial change, fetch the current model with
[`GET /api/models/{id}`](../../../api-reference/models/get), modify the fields you want to change, and send
the complete object back in the update request.

Changes to source fields, filters, or the identity column take effect on the
next sync execution that uses this model.

Reference: https://apidocs.polytomic.com/api-reference/models/update

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (basic auth, required) — This is the Polytomic deployment key (on-premises only)
- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — This is the Polytomic API key

## Request

### Path parameters

- `id` (string, required)

### Query parameters

- `async` (boolean, optional)

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a V2UpdateModelRequest.

- `configuration` (map from string to any, required)
- `connection_id` (string, required)
- `name` (string, required)
- `additional_fields` (list of ModelModelFieldRequest, optional, nullable)
- `enricher` (V2Enrichment, optional)
- `fields` (list of string, optional, nullable)
- `identifier` (string, optional)
- `labels` (list of string, optional, nullable)
- `organization_id` (string, optional, nullable)
- `policies` (list of string, optional, nullable)
- `refresh` (boolean, optional)
- `relations` (list of ModelRelation, optional, nullable)
- `tracking_columns` (list of string, optional, nullable)

## Response

### 200

OK

- `data` (V2ModelResponse, optional)
- `job` (V2JobResponse, optional)

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

Bad Request

- `key` (string, optional)
- `message` (string, optional)
- `metadata` (map from string to any, optional)
- `status` (integer, optional)

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Unauthorized

- `code` (integer, optional) — Application-specific error code.
- `context` (map from string to any, optional) — Application context.
- `error` (string, optional) — Error message.
- `status` (string, optional) — Status text.

### 404 Not Found Error

Not Found

- `key` (string, optional)
- `message` (string, optional)
- `metadata` (map from string to any, optional)
- `status` (integer, optional)

### 500 Internal Server Error

Internal Server Error

- `key` (string, optional)
- `message` (string, optional)
- `metadata` (map from string to any, optional)
- `status` (integer, optional)

## Types

### ModelModelFieldRequest

- `label` (string, required)
- `name` (string, required)
- `type` (string, required)
- `example` (string, optional)

### V2Enrichment

- `configuration` (map from string to any, optional) — Similar to a model configuration, this configures the enricher. For example, if you wanted to use Apollo to enrich people, you would send `{"object": "people"}` as the configuration. Each enricher configuration can be found in the connection configuration docs.
- `connection_id` (string, optional)
- `enricher_id` (string, optional) — Must be provided to update an existing enrichment
- `fields` (list of V2ModelField, optional) — If not provided, all fields will be enabled.
- `mappings` (map from string to string, optional) — A map of parent model Source Name to child model Source Name. For example, if your model has a field called `work_email` and the enricher accepts a field called `email`, you'd send a map of `{"work_email":"email"}`. The set of required input mappings varies based on the configuration of the enrichment. You can use the `enrichment/{connection_id}/inputfields` API to discover available input field combinations for a given configuration.

### ModelRelation

- `from` (string, optional)
- `to` (ModelRelationTo, optional)

### V2ModelResponse

- `configuration` (map from string to any, optional)
- `connection_id` (string, optional)
- `created_at` (string, optional)
- `created_by` (OutputActor, optional)
- `enricher` (V2Enrichment, optional)
- `fields` (list of V2ModelField, optional)
- `id` (string, optional)
- `identifier` (string, optional)
- `labels` (list of LabelLabel, optional)
- `name` (string, optional)
- `organization_id` (string, optional)
- `policies` (list of string, optional)
- `relations` (list of V2Relation, optional)
- `tracking_columns` (list of string, optional)
- `type` (string, optional)
- `updated_at` (string, optional)
- `updated_by` (OutputActor, optional)
- `version` (integer, optional)

### V2JobResponse

- `error` (string, optional, nullable) — Error message if the job failed.
- `job_id` (string, optional) — Identifier of the job.
- `result` (any, optional) — Job result. Shape depends on the job type; only populated once status is done.
- `status` (enum, optional)
  - Allowed values: `created`, `running`, `done`, `failed`
- `type` (string, optional) — Job type. Matches the type used to fetch the job.
