POST - Update campaign

The update endpoint allows you to update campaigns created from the API.

Request structure

Route

The campaigns API exposes a POST endpoint at: https://api.batch.com/1.1/BATCH_API_KEY/campaigns/update/CAMPAIGN_TOKEN

Here are examples of valid cURL, PHP or Python requests syntax:

  • Bash
  • PHP
  • Python
curl -X POST "https://api.batch.com/1.1/BATCH_API_KEY/campaigns/update/CAMPAIGN_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-Authorization: BATCH_REST_API_KEY" \
-d '{
	"name": "Updated Test Campaign Name",
	"live": true
}'

The BATCH_API_KEY value is either your Live, Dev or SDK Batch API key from the settings page of your app within the dashboard (Settings → General).

The CAMPAIGN_TOKEN value is the token you receive when you successfully create a push campaign using the API.

Headers

In order to authenticate with the API, you need to provide your company REST API Key as the value of the X-Authorization header. You can find it in ⚙ Settings → General.

Please note that:
- Complete campaigns cannot be set live again.

- You cannot switch back to a one-time campaign after chosing a recurring campaign.
