Update a task

PUT /accounts/{account_id}/alerts/{alert_id}/mentions/{mention_id}/tasks/{task_id}

Updates a specific task, for instance if the task is done, if the nature of the task changed, or if the task's creator wants to add a comment.

Parameters

• account_id (string) - Id of the account
• alert_id (number) - Id of the alert
• mention_id (number) - Id of the mention
• task_id (number) - Id of the task

Minimal curl example

curl -ig 'https://api.mention.net/api/accounts/{account_id}/alerts/{alert_id}/mentions/{mention_id}/tasks/{task_id}' \
    -X PUT \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -H 'Accept-Version: 1.19' \
    -d '{"done":true}'

As you see in the curl example, there is no minimal requirement in the PUT request in terms of attributes sent. Therefore, you can modify only a single parameter if you wish to.

Available properties

Modifiable attributes are a subset of the POST attributes; they are those marked as "updatable".
