Update site
PATCH /v1/sites/:id
Updates the fields of an existing site. Pass only the fields you want to change, flat at the root of the JSON — without the fields wrapper.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Req. | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id (path) |
number | yes | Site identifier |
scope |
string | no | For a site in the knowledge-base section, pass scope: "KNOWLEDGE" (the same value as on create) — otherwise the server returns 403 BITRIX_ACCESS_DENIED ("Site edit access denied"). Can be passed as a body field or the ?scope=KNOWLEDGE query parameter. Not required for regular landing sites |

code |
string | Symbolic site code in the URL. Slashes are not allowed. If the code consists only of digits, the site prefix is added |
