Can I write data through the SKYDB API?

Yes. A token carries the rights of its account, so an account that may edit a record on the website may edit it through the API. The API reference lists the PUT and POST endpoints next to the read endpoints.

A write passes the same validation as the edit form on the website. A rejected write returns HTTP 422 and names the field, a code and how to correct the value. Each accepted write enters the version history under the account that owns the token.

Members gain editing rights by contributing, as the editors page explains. Companies that maintain their own portfolio in SKYDB can ask for a dedicated account at [email protected]. Write requests do not count toward the rate limits.
