Update or Create a Workspace

Endpoint

/workspaces/{id}

AttributesDescription
id
conditional
The Workspaces’ unique ID, if replacing it.*
  • The behavior of PUT endpoints is the following: if the request payload does not contain an entity’s primary key (id for Workspaces), the entity will be created with the given payload. If the request payload does contain an entity’s primary key, the payload will “replace” the entity specified by the given primary key. If the primary key is not that of an existing entity, 404 NOT FOUND will be returned.

Request Body
