All endpoints

Update a contact

Update an address-book contact. Same request shape as creation, with name1 still required. is_private is derived from private_owner_id server-side.

HTTP: bearerAuth

User bearer token. Default authentication for customer-facing endpoints. Obtain a token by calling POST /login with your credentials, then send it on every subsequent request as Authorization: Bearer <token>. The token inherits the permissions and PBX scope of the authenticated user.

HTTP Authorization Scheme
bearer
Bearer format
Bearer <token>
HTTP: IntegrationApiKey

API key created on the Cockpit Integrations page (an "API key" integration). It is a bearer token owned by the customer's PBX and limited to the scopes selected when the key was created (e.g. phone-numbers, push-configuration).

Send it in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer <api_key>

Manage keys (create / reveal / revoke) from Integrations → New integration → API key.
