Replace a user's metadata

Replace a user's metadata attributes with the provided values.

Unlike PATCH /v1/users/{user_id}/metadata (merge semantics), this endpoint replaces the supplied metadata columns entirely — the prior contents of each supplied column are discarded. Columns omitted from the request body are left unchanged.

Prefer the PATCH endpoint for partial updates. Use PUT only when you explicitly intend to overwrite a metadata column wholesale.

put/users/{user_id}/metadata

Path parameters

user_idstring required

The ID of the user whose metadata will be replaced

Request body

public_metadataobject

Metadata saved on the user, that is visible to both your frontend and backend. The existing value will be replaced entirely with the new object.

private_metadataobject

Metadata saved on the user that is only visible to your backend. The existing value will be replaced entirely with the new object.

unsafe_metadataobject

Metadata saved on the user, that can be updated from both the Frontend and Backend APIs. The existing value will be replaced entirely with the new object.

Note: Since this data can be modified from the frontend, it is not guaranteed to be safe.
