Update observation
PUT /observations/{observation}. Parameters, permissions, request and response schemas.
PUT /observations/{observation}
Update observation. Requires the REST write token ability. The bearer token selects the Team; a supplied team_id cannot switch tenants. Additional role, entity-policy and plan requirements vary by operation. A Team in blocked billing mode cannot write and receives 402.
Authentication
Use a team API key as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY. The token ability and the user’s role must both allow this operation. See authentication.
