Updating entry of Contentful using postman

Question

As you can check below screenshot I tried to make PUT api call in the Contentful to update the entry.

When I try to hit GET call, everything works fine but don't understand here what is reason of this below error while making PUT call.

Did I missed anything here or anything wrong here?

NOTE: I changed all the variable while making call, spaceId, env, entryId and authorisation(passing access_token)

Answer 1

From what I see in your URL, it looks like you are trying to hit the Contentful Preview API, which is read-only.

API Base URL https://preview.contentful.com This is a read-only API

Therefore, updating an entry via a PUT request cannot be done with the url you are using.

---

However, I believe your PUT request should work if you update the base url to be https://api.contentful.com/ instead. This is the endpoint for the Content Management API.

Important note:

• if you do this, you will need to use a different auth token for the Content Management API.

---

Using https://api.contentful.com/ hits the writable Content Management API, which has documentation for the PUT request you are making.

Importing the corresponding curl command into your Postman client will confirm this.

---

So in the end, the url would be this:

https://api.contentful.com/spaces/{space_id}/environments/{environment_id}/entries/{entry_id}

Again, the bearer token will have to come from the writable Content Management API.
