# Update resource

`PATCH /zones/{zoneId}/resources/{id}`

Updates a Resource's configuration and metadata

## Path parameters

- `zoneId` string, required
- `id` string, required

## Request body

- IamResourceUpdate — Schema for updating an existing resource (partial update). **Warning:** Changing the `identifier` field may break existing integrations and dependencies.
  - `name` string, safe-text — Human-readable name. Must not contain HTML tags (e.g. `<script>`, `<div>`) or control characters.
  - `description` string, safe-text, nullable — Human-readable description. Must not contain HTML tags (e.g. `<script>`, `<div>`) or control characters.
  - `scopes` string[], nullable — Scopes supported by the resource (set to null to unset)
  - `identifier` string, safe-text — User specified identifier, unique within the zone. Must not contain HTML tags (e.g. `<script>`, `<div>`) or control characters.
  - `credential_provider_id` string, nullable — ID of the credential provider to associate with the resource (set to null to unset)
  - `application_id` string, nullable — ID of the application that provides this resource (set to null to unset)
  - `application_type` 'native' | 'web' — The expected type of client for this credential. Native clients must use localhost URLs for redirect_uris or URIs with custom schemes. Web clients must use https URLs and must not use localhost as the hostname.
  - `prefix` boolean — When true, the resource identifier is treated as a URI prefix, protecting all URLs that share the identifier as a prefix.
  - `credential_lifetime_seconds` integer, nullable — Credential lifetime override in seconds. Set to null to clear the override and use the default.
  - `metadata` IamMetadataUpdate, nullable — Entity metadata (set to null or {} to remove metadata)
    - `docs_url` string, uri, nullable — Documentation URL (set to null to unset)
    - `icon_url` string, uri, nullable — Icon URL (set to null to unset)

## Response `200`
