/v1/episodes/{id}Edit an episode
operation ID: put_v1_episodes_by_id
Overview
Edit an episode. Episodes represent bounded operational events and the genealogy links between related events.
When to use it
- Use it when an application needs to edit an episode.
- Use it when an application tracks an incident, batch, excursion, or other event interval and its relationships.
Quick example
Set the base URL and replace generated identifiers or credentials with values from your installation.
cURL
curl --request PUT \
--url "$ORDINATE_URL/v1/episodes/00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000001" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $ORDINATE_TOKEN" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{}'Expected output · 200
New episode version and computed flags
Example 200 output
{
"version": 0,
"flags": [
"string"
]
}The cURL request sends the smallest contract-derived body and asks OrdinateDB to edit an episode. The documented 200 response is new episode version and computed flags.
How it works
Templates define episode shape, episodes carry event state, and genealogy links connect parent, child, or otherwise related records.
