Update a visit request

patch/v1/visit-requests/{id}

Changes the fields you send and returns the updated visit request. Send null to clear an optional field. Available to keys belonging to office staff and caregivers. With a caregiver's or patient's key, a saved record that key cannot read back is answered with only object and id. Requires a key with write scope.

Authorization

An AveeCare API key created in Settings → API Keys. This endpoint changes data, so the key needs read + write scope. About authentication
