Updates an existing company using partial updates. Access rules differ between regular API keys and ATS integration keys.

​
Overview

The update company endpoint allows you to modify company information without recreating it. This supports partial updates, meaning you only need to provide the fields you want to change. Regular API keys can update their own company, while ATS keys can update companies they’ve created.

​
Access Rules

​
Regular API Keys

Regular API keys can only update their associated company: 
// ✅ Can update own company
PATCH /company/{own-company-id}
{
  "name": "Updated Company Name"
}

​
ATS Integration Keys

ATS keys can update any company they’ve created: 
// ✅ Can update companies created by this ATS key
PATCH /company/{ats-managed-company-id}
{
  "name": "Updated Client Company Name"
}

​
Use Cases

  • Company Profile Updates: Update company name, website, or industry
  • Settings Management: Modify company settings (timezone, locale)
  • Client Management: Update client company information for ATS platforms

​
Partial Updates

You can update any combination of fields: 
// Update only name
PATCH /company/{id}
{
  "name": "New Company Name"
}

// Update multiple fields
PATCH /company/{id}
{
  "name": "Updated Name",
  "website": "https://newwebsite.com",
  "industry": "Technology"
}

​
Error Scenarios

  • 404 Not Found: Company doesn’t exist
  • 403 Forbidden: Company is not accessible or updatable with your API key type
  • 400 Bad Request: Invalid field values or validation errors
