object

The body object contains the attributes to update the general shopping list details. See the Body Object Example below.

{
  "list": {
    "id": "string",
    "name": "string",
    "primary": true
  }
}

Request Body Object Example

{
  "fields": {
    "name": "My Updated Shopping List",
    "primary": true
  },
  "mask": {
    "paths": [
      "name", "primary"
    ]
  }
}

The fields object allows you to specify new values for the shopping list attributes. Currently, we only support updating the name and primary attributes.

The mask object allows you to specify the attributes that you want to update specifically. For example, in each update request, you need to specify values for both name and primary attributes regardless of whether you want to update both or only one of them. Hence, the mask object determines which attributes are to be updated exactly.

The mask object contains the path array that allows you to add a comma-separated list of attributes to update.
