# Partially update an event

`PATCH /events/{event_id}/`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.hive.co/v2`
- URL: `https://api.hive.co/v2/events/{event_id}/`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Update individual fields on an event that already exists in Hive. Send only the fields that changed — at least one is required. The event is identified by `event_id` in the path, and the update time is server-stamped.

## Path parameters

- `event_id` string, required

## Headers

- `X-Partner-Id` string, required

## Request body

- UpdateEvent: Partial update for one event: :class:`EventSchema` with every field optional, no ``event_id`` (rides in the URL path), and no ``updated_at`` (server-stamped at merge time). Absent keys mean "leave untouched".
  - `primary_performer_names` string[]
  - `supporting_performer_names` string[]
  - `description` string
  - `end_at` string, date-time
  - `presale_start_at` string, date-time
  - `onsale_start_at` string, date-time
  - `doors_open_at` string, date-time
  - `thumbnail_url` string, uri
  - `genres` string[]
  - `tags` string[]
  - `has_tickets_available` boolean
  - `total_tickets` integer
  - `timezone` string
  - `venue` VenueRequest
    - `name` string, required
    - `address` string
    - `city` string
    - `state` string
    - `country` string
    - `zip` string
  - `tiers` TierRequest[]
    - `tier_id` string, required
    - `name` string, required
    - `price` number, double, required
  - `properties` object
  - `name` string
  - `start_at` string, date-time
  - `event_url` string, uri

## Response `202`

Received and queued for background processing. Not yet applied.

- EventsPartialUpdateResponse202: Empty response body

## Other responses

- `404`: No event exists with that `event_id`.
- `409`: The event cannot be partially updated. Re-send the full event via POST /events instead.
- `422`: Validation failed. For a batch write this is all-or-nothing. Field errors are keyed by resource name, then item index, then field path, query-parameter errors are keyed by parameter name, service-level rejections use a flat `errors` list.
