# Update the space

PUT https://%7BYour_Space_Name%7D.signalwire.com/api/space
Content-Type: application/json

Renames the space. The subdomain cannot be changed through the API.

#### Permissions

Authenticate with a [Personal access token](/docs/apis/authorization#personal-access-tokens) whose holder is an owner or admin of the space. A project API token is not accepted on this endpoint, and a Personal access token has no scopes: the holder's role in the space is the whole authorization decision.

Reference: https://signalwire.com/docs/apis/rest/space/update-space

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (basic auth, required) — Personal access token authentication for space-wide administration. Send HTTP Basic auth with an empty username and the Personal access token as the password. A Personal access token carries your own authority rather than a project's: it is created from your user menu in the Dashboard, is prefixed `pat_`, and has no scopes. The holder must be an owner or admin of the space named by the subdomain, and the token acts only on that space. Example: ``` Authorization: Basic base64(:pat_...) ```

## Request

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects an object.

- `name` (string, required) — The new name of the space. Must not be blank.

## Response

### 200

The request has succeeded.

- `type` (enum, required) — The object type. Always `space`.
  - Allowed values: `space`
- `id` (string, required) — The unique identifier of the space.
- `name` (string, required) — The name of the space.
- `subdomain` (string, required) — The subdomain of the space, which is the first label of its URL.
- `verified` (boolean, required) — Whether the space has completed verification. An unverified space cannot use this API.
- `trial` (boolean, required) — Whether the space is on a trial.
- `created_at` (datetime, required) — The date and time when the space was created.
- `updated_at` (datetime, required) — The date and time when the space was last updated.

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

The request body is not valid JSON.

- `errors` (list of object, required) — List of validation errors.
  - `type` (string, required) — The category of error.
  - `code` (string, required) — A specific error code.
  - `message` (string, required) — A description of what caused the error.
  - `url` (string, required) — A link to documentation about this error.
  - `attribute` (string, optional, nullable) — The request parameter that caused the error, if applicable.

### 401 Unauthorized Error

The credential is missing, unknown, or revoked; its holder is not a member of the space in the subdomain; or the member is not an owner or admin. The body is the plain text `Unauthorized`. An unverified space instead receives the JSON body `{"message": "Please validate a phone number to access your account."}` on every endpoint under `/api/space`.

- `message` (string, required) — States that a phone number must be validated for the space before it can use the API.

### 422 Unprocessable Entity Error

The request failed validation, for example a blank `name`.

- `errors` (list of object, required) — List of validation errors.
  - `type` (string, required) — The category of error.
  - `code` (string, required) — A specific error code.
  - `message` (string, required) — A description of what caused the error.
  - `url` (string, required) — A link to documentation about this error.
  - `attribute` (string, optional, nullable) — The request parameter that caused the error, if applicable.

### 500 Internal Server Error

An internal server error occurred.

- `error` (enum, required)
  - Allowed values: `Internal Server Error`
