--- title: "Update my preferences" method: PATCH path: "/v1/me" tags: ["Me"] --- # Update my preferences `PATCH /v1/me` ## Request - Base URL: `https://app.beel.es/api` - URL: `https://app.beel.es/api/v1/me` - Auth: HTTP bearer Updates the preferences of the authenticated person. Today the only mutable preference is `language`. It applies to the interface, to template names and colours in invoice customisation, and to the emails the person receives. It belongs to the person, not to a fiscal profile: the languages of invoices and of emails are separate settings of each company. ## Request body - UpdateMeRequest: Mutable preferences of the authenticated person. - `language` 'es' | 'en' | 'ca', required: Supported languages: `es` Spanish, `en` English, `ca` Catalan. ## Response `200` Preferences updated - object: The envelope every successful JSON response of the BeeL. API is wrapped in. There are no bare resources in v1 and none are planned: the payload always hangs off `data`. - A **single resource** is an object in `data`. - A **collection** hangs off a named key inside `data`, together with its `pagination`, also inside `data` — `data: {invoices: [...], pagination: {...}}`. - A collection carries `pagination` unless its operation declares itself a **closed catalogue**: a fixed, bounded list with nothing to page through. The declaration is explicit in the operation; a missing `pagination` is never something to infer. - `GET /v1/accounts` pages by cursor (`data: {accounts: [...], next_cursor}`). It is a documented variant of pagination, not another envelope. Putting the array straight into `data` with `pagination` as its sibling is the shape a v2 would adopt; v1 is not being flipped to it. - `success` boolean, required - `data` object, required: Preferences of the authenticated person (person axis, not company). - `language` 'es' | 'en' | 'ca', required: Supported languages: `es` Spanish, `en` English, `ca` Catalan. - `meta` ResponseMeta - `timestamp` string, date-time - `request_id` string ## Other responses - `400`: Bad request. From a dashboard session, a `BeeL-Environment` header whose value is not a known environment answers `ENVIRONMENT_HEADER_INVALID`, with the header named in `error.details` (`{"BeeL-Environment": "invalid"}`); it is never read as production. `BUSINESS_RULE_VIOLATION` is the generic answer to an operation the resource does not admit in its current state when that state has no code of its own. It carries no `details`; read the resource again before retrying. - `401`: Missing or invalid authentication. Like every other error, `message`/`detail` is localized according to `Accept-Language` (`es`, `en`, `ca`); defaults to English when the header is missing or asks for none of those. - `403`: Authenticated but not allowed. Fourteen causes shared by every operation, told apart by `error.code`; an operation that adds a cause of its own names it in its `403`. You can branch on them exhaustively. - `INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE` — the credential lacks a scope the operation requires; `error.details.missing_scopes` names them as a single comma-separated string (for example `"invoices:write,customers:read"`), not as an array; `required_scopes` has the same shape and lists every scope the operation needs. Retrying will not help: mint a key that holds them. - `COMPANY_READ_ONLY` — the scope is there, but your access level over that NIF only lets you read it. - `ACCOUNT_MANAGEMENT_FORBIDDEN` — the scope is there, but your role over the account, or the management relationship you hold over it, does not cover this operation. - `ACCOUNT_NOT_ACCESSIBLE` — the account is not yours to reach, which is also the answer when it does not exist, so existence is never disclosed. - `ACTIVE_COMPANY_NOT_ACCESSIBLE` — the same, for a NIF: the company in the path, or the one named by `BeeL-Active-Company`, is not one this credential may reach — and again, this is also the answer when it does not exist. - `COMPANY_ACCESS_REVOKED` — your access to the NIF was withdrawn while the request was already in flight, so the write was rejected and nothing was recorded. Retrying will not help until the access is granted again. - `LIVE_CREDENTIAL_REQUIRED` — the operation changes the real account and the call came from a test API key (`beel_sk_test_…`). Use your live key or the dashboard. - `FEATURE_NOT_AVAILABLE` — your subscription does not include the entitlement the operation needs; `error.details.feature_code` names it. This gate runs **before** the scope gate, so for such an operation you never see `INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE` first. - `NO_ACTIVE_ACCOUNT` — the credential does not resolve to an account, so no scope can be evaluated against one. Fail-closed, not a permission that can be granted to you. - `OPERATION_REQUIRES_SESSION` — the operation is available only from the web session; no API key and no OAuth2 token can perform it, whatever scopes it holds. - `OPERATION_REQUIRES_API_KEY` — the reverse: the operation needs a scope that only an API key can hold (such as `accounts:write`), so a dashboard session never satisfies it. - `API_KEY_LIVE_NOT_AVAILABLE` — the call came with a live API key (`beel_sk_live_…`) and the account has no Live mode yet. It is never degraded to Test: use your test key, or activate Live first. - `ACCOUNT_REQUIRES_FOCUS_SWITCH` — dashboard session only: you are a member of the account in the path, but it is not the account in focus. Switch focus to it and retry. - `REQUEST_BLOCKED` — the edge security filter stopped the request before the API saw its body, usually because a text field carries something that looks like markup or a script (HTML tags, `
