Update Endpoint

Update the attributes of a basic page. Note that this is an update of all properties of the page, partial updates are not supported. PUT /api/v1/sites/:siteslug/pages/basicpages/:id

Example

Suppose you wanted to change the title of the page made in the documentation for the Create endpoint to be "New Title". To do this, you would issue a request like this:

PUT http://foobar.nationbuilder.com/api/v1/sites/foobar-site/pages/basic_pages/12

With a body like this:

{
  "basic_page": {
    "slug": "my_page",
    "status": "published",
    "name": "My Page",
    "headline": "My Page",
    "title": "New Title",
    "excerpt": null,
    "content": "<p>My page content</p>"
  }
}

That should update the page to have the new title, and return a response code of 200 with body like this:

{
  "basic_page": {
    "slug": "my_page",
    "status": "published",
    "site_slug": "foobar-site",
    "name": "My Page",
    "headline": "My Page",
    "title": "New Title",
