REST API PUT example

Can I have a simple example on how to use platform.api.put to update a single record in the db (included SQLite database) service using a where clause. I want to only update only 1 field. Something similar to the below SQL query, just to make it more clear

Update tblExample set name='John Doe' where lastname = 'doe'

How do I achieve the same with a REST API. I guess I’d need to use PUT method.

Thanks,
M.M

Hi @m_menon,

Try this:

payload = {
  "resource": [
    {
      "name": "John Doe"
    }
  ],
  "filter": "lastname=doe"
};

result = platform.api.put("db/_table/tblExample", payload);

I can’t get the PUT to work. I get 500 error:

“message”: “Failed to update records in ‘Products’.\nFirst key in $update argument is not an update operator”

my request is:

Anything obvious?
