Update a company (legacy)

  Less than to read

What you can update

You can update the following parameters of a company:

  • name
  • externalId
  • address
  • taxNumber
  • standardIndustrialCode
  • contactTelNo
  • contactEmail

For detailed information about these parameter go to the Onboarding and authentication API reference.

Each of these parameters supports the following operations:

  • add – This adds a new value to the specified parameter.
  • remove – This removes the current value of the specified parameter.
  • replace – This replaces the current value of the specified parameter with the new one. Using this operation is the same as running a remove followed by an add.

Prerequisites

To update a company, you need to know its companyId parameter value and have a valid access token for the company. After you have completed onboarding, you should have the companyId value and a valid access token.

For more information, go to the onboard a Sage application guide.

Configure and send a PATCH request

Send a PATCH request with the following headers and body.

Headers

PATCH /auth-v1/companies/{companyId} HTTP/1.1
Host: api-money.sage.com
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {access token}

  • {companyId} – This is the unique ID of the company.

  • Bearer {access token} – This is the authorisation string for your request, where {access token} is a valid token for the company.

Body

[
    {
        "op" : "replace",
        "path" : "{parameter 1}",
        "value" : "{new value}"
    },
    {
        "op" : "replace",
        "path" : "{parameter 2}",

        "op" : "replace",
        "path" : "{parameter 3}",
        "value" : "{new value}"
    }
]

Where:

  • op specifies the operation you want to perform on the parameter. To simplify the task, we use the replace operation.

  • path specifies the name of the parameter whose value you want to update. You can update as many parameters as you need to at a time.

  • value specifies the new parameter value you want to set.
