Raw response for the API Status code 405 {“detail”:“Method “POST” not allowed.”}
$url = “[https://api.baserow.io/api/database/rows/table/58437/23/](https://api.baserow.io/api/database/rows/table/58437/23/)”;
i want to update status of a transaction record, so i am finding the desired record with transaction.id (field\_338989) but its sending me an status 405.
my API docs gave patch url as `https://api.baserow.io/api/database/rows/table/58437/{row_id}/`

@mauroary44 to update a record you need to send a `PATCH` request instead of a `POST`. An URL isn’t a `PATCH` url. You make a request to an URL with a particular request method (`PATCH`, `GET`, `POST` etc). See [HTTP request methods - HTTP | MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods).

@nigel , that line was just showing how I was sending the URL.
My code is here, and the error continues to appear.
To Read, Create and Delete works well in Update is always giving error.

You need to change `POST` to `PATCH` on line 5 of your PHP. You are sending a `POST` request to an endpoint that requires a `PATCH`. This blog might help: [REST / HTTP methods: POST vs. PUT vs. PATCH](https://www.mscharhag.com/api-design/http-post-put-patch) . In our [API documenation](https://api.baserow.io/api/redoc/#operation/update_database_table_row) to update a row it is shown that you need to send a `PATCH` request.

@nigel , Fantastic, it worked!! 😉 💪
I’ll see that documentation and get to understand better about [REST / HTTP methods: POST vs. PUT vs. PATCH](https://www.mscharhag.com/api-design/http-post-put-patch)
Now I could understand why your [API documenation](https://api.baserow.io/api/redoc/#operation/update_database_table_row) has PATCH / GET / POST and each one with different colors.
Thanks a lot for the help friend.
