Authorizations

X-API-Key
string
header
required

Breadbox API key with format bb_<base62>. Carries either read_only or full_access scope. Write endpoints (and a handful of sensitive reads — /api-keys, /users/{user_id}/login) require full_access; endpoints that require it are flagged in their description.

Path Parameters

id
string
required

UUID or 8-char short_id.

Body

application/json
display_name
string

Empty string clears the override.

is_excluded
boolean
is_dependent_linked
boolean
owner_user_id
string

short_id of a household member to own this account; empty string clears the override so it inherits the connection owner.

Updated account.
