Update or Create a Workspace

Endpoint

/workspaces/{id}

Attributes	Description
`id` conditional	The Workspace’s unique ID, if replacing it.*

The behavior of PUT endpoints is the following: if the request payload does not contain an entity’s primary key (id for Workspaces), the entity will be created with the given payload. If the request payload does contain an entity’s primary key, the payload will “replace” the entity specified by the given primary key. If the primary key is not that of an existing entity, 404 NOT FOUND will be returned.

Request Body

Attribute	Description
`name`	The Workspace name.

Response

If creating the entity:

HTTP 201 Created

If replacing the entity:

HTTP 200 OK
