# Update a skill

`POST /skills/{slug}/update`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.crevio.co/v1`
- URL: `https://api.crevio.co/v1/skills/{slug}/update`
- Auth: API key in header `Authorization`

Updates an installed skill to the catalog's current `version`. Check `update_available` first: on a skill that is already current this changes nothing. Updating a skill that isn't installed returns an error.

## Path parameters
