# Rename a project

`PATCH /projects/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.epovest.com/v1`
- URL: `https://api.epovest.com/v1/projects/{id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

The folder keeps its id, its canon, its trackers, its surfaces and its logbook: the name
shown is the only thing that changes. Sending the name it already carries answers the same.
Manager or above.

## Request body

- object
  - `name` string, required

## Response `200`

The project, renamed.

- ProjectEnvelope
  - `project` Project, required
    - `id` string, uuid, required
    - `name` string, required
    - `canon` Canon, required: The brand identity sheet: the text every publication reuses as is, so all mentions tell the same entity. It lives in ONE language per project, its canonical language, and the facts are language-NEUTRAL and identical everywhere.
      - `one_liner` string, nullable, required
      - `short` string, nullable, required
      - `long` string, nullable, required
      - `category` string, nullable, required
      - `language` string, nullable, required: The canonical language, a short code like `en` or `pt-br`. Null when never declared.
      - `perks` string[], required: The ordered list of distinctive claims, written in the canonical language, meant to be hammered so the engines bring them up on their own: facts that hold and can be corroborated.
      - `website` string, nullable, required: The canonical address that identifies the entity, ONE URL only. A bare domain completes to https, and a trailing slash is dropped.
      - `legal_name` string, nullable, required: The registered name of the company that operates the brand, with its jurisdiction when it is stated: the name the AIs cross-read to anchor the entity.
      - `address` string, nullable, required
      - `phone` string, nullable, required
      - `whatsapp` string, nullable, required
      - `email` string, nullable, required
    - `canon_version` integer, nullable, required
    - `link_targets` string[], required: The free addresses of the brand set on the project, the ones read by `GET /projects/{id}/link-targets`.
    - `archived` boolean, required
    - `tracker_count` integer, required: How many trackers are still filed under it.
    - `created_at` string, date-time, required

## Other responses

- `401`: `unauthenticated`: missing, unknown or revoked key.
- `403`: `insufficient_scope`: the credential may not do this, either because the key lacks the scope, or, on a one-click connection, because the person lacks the role the action needs (manager, or owner to start, pause and top up). On that path, read it as "this person may not do this" and tell them which role the action needs.
- `404`: `not_found`: unknown for this account.
- `409`: `project_exists`: another project of the account already goes by this name, and the answer carries it as `project`.
- `422`: `invalid_name`: a non-empty name, of at most the length the message names.
- `429`: `rate_limited`: 120 requests per minute per credential, sliding window. Retry after `Retry-After` seconds.
