Introduction

The updateCoreProductCategory mutation allows you to update a Category.

Update a category

Constructing the mutation and input

We'll be using the API Console to save time having to authenticate. Copy and paste this into your API console query section to get started. Reminder that fields can be removed from the query if you don't want the API to return them.

POST /graphql
Query

mutation ($input: UpdateCoreProductCategoryInput!) {
    updateCoreProductCategory(input: $input) {
        coreProductCategory {
            id
            name
        }
        errors {
            path
            message
        }
    }
}

Defining the variables

Copy and paste the block below into the query variables section of the API console and substitute the CATEGORY_ID with the id of the category you want to update. Variables


{
  "input": {
    "id": ACCOUNT_ID,
    "name": "Clothing"
  }
}

Now press Execute Query (the play button) to send the request.

You should get back this response containing all the category you updated.
