  title="Update List API Prompt"
  prompt={`Rename a Didit list or update its description through the Management API.

Endpoint:
PATCH https://verification.didit.me/v3/lists/{list_uuid}/

Authentication:
Use the x-api-key header with my Didit API key.

Goal:
- Update the editable metadata of an allowlist or custom list. list_type and entry_type are immutable — if you need to change those, delete and recreate the list.
- System blocklists are immutable; PATCH on a system list returns 403/400.

Path parameter:
- list_uuid — the list UUID returned by GET /v3/lists/ or POST /v3/lists/.

Request body (application/json):
{
"name": "Updated List Name",
"description": "Optional new description"
}

Either field is optional, but at least one should be provided. name must remain unique per application.

Example call:
curl -X PATCH "https://verification.didit.me/v3/lists/{list_uuid}/" \\
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \\
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \\
-d '{"name": "Updated List Name"}'

Failure modes:
- 400 — attempt to update list_type, entry_type, or is_system (immutable).
- 401 — missing or malformed x-api-key.
- 403 — canonical { "detail": "You do not have permission to perform this action." } envelope, also returned when patching a system blocklist.
- 404 — list not found in this application.
- 409 — name collides with another list in this application.

Side effects:
- name/description changes are immediately visible in the console and on subsequent GET calls.

For the full integration shape, see /integration/integration-prompt.`}
/>

Update the name or description of a list. System lists cannot be modified.

## Request body

| Field         | Type   | Description                               |
| ------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| `name`        | string | New name (must be unique per application) |
| `description` | string | New description                           |

<RequestExample>
  ```bash theme={null}
  curl -X PATCH "https://verification.didit.me/v3/lists/{list_uuid}/" \
    -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"name": "Updated List Name"}'
  ```
