Update an API credential
This endpoint updates one or more fields on an existing API credential. For more information on API credentials, see [Configure API credentials and connectors in Sigma](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/docs/configure-api-credentials-and-connectors-in-sigma).
### Usage notes
- The user making this request must be assigned an account type with the **Manage API connectors** permission enabled and have **Can edit** access to the API credential.
- Retrieve the **apiCredentialId** by calling the [/v2/api-credentials](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/list-api-credentials) endpoint.
- Omitted fields are left unchanged.
- If a `credential` is provided, the provided authentication details (ID, secret, etc.) replace the previous values. To leave secrets unchanged, omit the `credential` parameter.
### Usage scenarios
- **Secret rotation:** Update the secret fields for a credential automatically for an external service.
- **Allowlist updates:** Expand or restrict the set of hostnames the credential can be used against.
