Update policy

Update a single policy in place without resending the environment's full policy list. The policy keeps its id and its position in the evaluation order, and all other policies are untouched.

Omitted fields keep their stored values; at least one updatable field must be provided. Setting match to null removes all match expressions so the policy applies to every request. Providing one of keyauth, ratelimit, firewall or openapi replaces the policy's rule entirely, including switching its type; at most one may be set.

Policy ids are regenerated whenever gateway.setPolicies replaces the list, so fetch current ids via gateway.listPolicies first.

Required Permissions

Your root key must have one of the following permissions:

  • environment.*.update_policy (for any environment)
  • environment.<environment_id>.update_policy (for a specific environment)
post/v2/gateway.updatePolicy

Request body

projectstring required

Identifies a resource by either its unique ID or its slug. Accepts a prefixed ID (such as 'proj_' or 'app_') or a slug.

appstring required

Identifies a resource by either its unique ID or its slug. Accepts a prefixed ID (such as 'proj_' or 'app_') or a slug.

environmentstring required

Identifies a resource by either its unique ID or its slug. Accepts a prefixed ID (such as 'proj_' or 'app_') or a slug.

policyIdstring required

Id of the policy to update, as returned by gateway.listPolicies. Ids are regenerated whenever gateway.setPolicies replaces the list, so list the policies first if you are unsure the id is current.

namestring

New human-readable name. Omit to keep the current name.

enabledboolean

Enable or disable the policy. Disabled policies are stored but skipped during evaluation. Omit to keep the current setting.

openapiOpenapiPolicy

Validates matching requests against the app's uploaded OpenAPI spec. Has no configuration of its own. If no spec has been uploaded for the deployment, the policy is a no-op and requests pass through unvalidated.
