# Update an internal service

> Reschedules or closes an internal service (send only the fields to change).

The staff and vehicle lists replace the existing one. Returns the updated internal service.

`PATCH /api/v1/internal-services/{internalServiceId}` — scope `internal-services:write`

Scope: `internal-services:write` · 120/min · Idempotency-Key · If-Match · MCP: `filmo_internal_services_update`

## Authorizations

Bearer API key with the scope below. `internal-services:write`

## Headers

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `Idempotency-Key` | string | No | Unique identifier of the request, chosen by the client (a UUID works). Between 1 and 255 characters: an empty header is rejected with 400 `validation_error`, because the client would believe itself protected. Repeating the same key with the SAME body within 24 h returns the stored response without executing again, with the `Idempotent-Replay: true` header. With a DIFFERENT body it returns 422. It is the safe way to retry after a network timeout. |
| `If-Match` | string | No | Optimistic locking: the `ETag` you read from the resource (or `*`). If the resource changed since, the write is rejected with `412 precondition_failed` before doing anything; read it again and retry. Without the header the write always proceeds. |

## Path parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `internalServiceId` | string | Yes | Internal service identifier. |

## Response

Response schema: `InternalServiceDto`

| Status | Description |
| --- | --- |
| 200 | Successful response. |
| 400 | Invalid request (validation_error): malformed query or body. `errors[]` lists every offending field with its stable code. |
| 401 | Authentication failed (unauthorized, api_key_invalid, api_key_revoked, api_key_expired, api_key_owner_inactive, api_key_owner_not_admin). |
| 403 | Not allowed (insufficient_scope: the API key does not have the required scope, named in `requiredScope`; forbidden: the owner of the key lacks the permission the operation requires). `insufficient_scope` is answered before the request counts against the rate limit, so it carries no `RateLimit-*` headers; `forbidden` does. |
| 404 | Resource not found (not_found): it does not exist or is outside the scope of the API key. |
| 409 | Conflict (conflict): the current state of the resource prevents the operation, a request with that Idempotency-Key is already in progress, or another conditional write (`If-Match`) held the resource for more than five seconds. `errors[0].code` says which: `in_progress` and `lock_timeout` are solved by retrying; `invalid_state` is not, because the state of the resource forbids the operation. |
| 412 | Precondition failed (precondition_failed): the `If-Match` entity tag does not match the current representation. Read the resource again and retry. |
| 422 | Idempotency-Key reused (idempotency_key_reused): the same key was used before with a different body. Change the key. |
| 429 | Rate limit exceeded (rate_limited): retry after `Retry-After` seconds; `RateLimit-*` says which quota ran out. |
| 500 | Internal error (internal_error). |

**200**

| `data.id` | string | Unique assignment identifier. |
| `data.title` | string | Assignment title. |

| `data.updatedAt` | string<date-time> | Last modification date in ISO 8601 UTC. |
| `meta` | object | Additional information about the response. |
| `meta.warnings` | object[] | Lifecycle warnings; present only when the operation is deprecated. |
| `meta.warnings.code` | string | Stable warning code. `deprecated` |
| `meta.warnings.message` | string | For people: what is deprecated, until when, and what to use. |
| `meta.warnings.sunset` | string | Day (YYYY-MM-DD) the operation stops being served. |
| `meta.warnings.replacement` | string | `operationId` of the operation to use instead, or null if there is none. |
