Is it possible to update a singleton via the API?

[tommueller]

Surprisingly I could neither find any hints in the documentation (neither the official one, not at zeraton) about using the API to update singleton data.

From checking the requests sent when updating a singleton from the admin interface, I figured out that it is using the singletons/update_data/singleton_name-endpoint. This however seems to be protected behind login. Using it without logging in just results in a redirect, to the authentication page.

Is there any way to update singleton data via the API, or is it just not possible currently?

Thanks!

Have a look here:

Update collection and singleton via api

If you want to save singleton data via api, just create a custom api endpoint in config/api/singletons/save/singletonname.php with this content: <?php return $this->invoke('Singletons\\Controller\\Admin', 'update_data', ['singletonname']); Now send a request: https://url.to/cockpit/api/singletons/save/singletonname?token=xxtokenxx json post body: {"data":{"title":"test","content":"updated content"}} Caution: It updates empty values, too. So you always have to send all fields or the othe…

I also renamed that old thread from “Update collection” to “Update collection and singleton via api” to make it more clear.
