# Update a consumer

`PUT /apiops/projects/{projectName}/consumers/{consumerKey}`

## Request

- Base URL: `http://167.86.118.166:32080`
- URL: `http://167.86.118.166:32080/apiops/projects/{projectName}/consumers/{consumerKey}`
- Auth: none declared
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/apinizer/apis/apinizer-management-apis/docs/apiops/projects/:projectName/consumers/:consumerKey/put.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Updates the consumer and redeploys it. A field the body omits (null) keeps its stored value; send an empty list or an empty string to clear one; send "expireDate": null to remove the expiry. A consumer a live identity source manages cannot be edited (400); actions/enable and actions/disable still apply. username and consumerKey cannot change (400 immutableField). The password changes only through actions/change-password and the organization only through actions/transfer-organization. metadata, when sent, replaces the stored list; secret values are write-only, so a secret entry sent without a value is stored empty — send the value to keep it.
