}

Update a Lambda

This API is used to update an existing Lambda. The lambda type may not be changed.

URI

PUT /api/lambda/{lambdaId}

PATCH /api/lambda/{lambdaId}

Available since 1.12.0

When using the PATCH method, use the same request body documentation that is provided for the PUT request. The PATCH method will merge the provided request parameters into the existing object, this means all parameters are optional when using the PATCH method and you only provide the values you want changed. A null value can be used to remove a value. Patching an Array will result in all values from the new list being appended to the existing list, this is a known limitation to the current implementation of PATCH.

 

Request Parameters

lambdaId [UUID] Required

The unique Id of the Lambda to update.

Request Body

lambda.body [String] Required

The lambda function body, a JavaScript function.

lambda.debug [Boolean] Optional defaults to false

Whether or not debug event logging is enabled for this Lambda.

lambda.enabled [Boolean] Optional defaults to true

Whether or not this Lambda is enabled.

lambda.name [String] Required

The name of the lambda.

Example Request JSON
