# Update a GEO audit

`PATCH /geo_audits/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.llmpulse.ai/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.llmpulse.ai/api/v1/geo_audits/{id}`
- Auth: API key in header `Authorization`

Updates the schedule, the email alerts or the status. Making an audit recurring or resuming it counts against the plan limit of active recurring audits (ERR_LIMIT_REACHED). Requires a `read_write` scope API key and, for team members, update permission on GEO Audits.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Request body

- GeoAuditUpdateRequest
  - `project_id` integer
  - `cadence` 'once' | 'weekly' | 'monthly'
  - `schedule_day` integer: Weekly: 0 (Sunday) to 6. Monthly: 1 to 28.
  - `schedule_hour` integer: Hour of the day, 0 to 23, in the audit time zone
  - `status` 'active' | 'paused' | 'archived': paused stops scheduled runs, active resumes them, archived is the same as DELETE
  - `email_alerts` boolean
