# Update a monitor

`PATCH /api/v1/monitors/{monitor}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://pineprompt.com`
- URL: `https://pineprompt.com/api/v1/monitors/{monitor}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Updates a monitor. Every field is optional, so you may send only the fields you would like to change; a field that is omitted keeps its current value. Platforms sent without a country are validated against the monitor's stored country, and a country sent without platforms must be supported by every platform the monitor already runs on.

## Path parameters

- `monitor` integer, required

## Headers

- `Pineprompt-Project-Id` integer, required

## Request body

- UpdateMonitor
  - `name` string: A human-readable name for the monitor. May be up to <strong>120</strong> characters.
  - `platforms` string[]: The AI platforms you would like the monitor to run against. Each platform must support the chosen `country`.
  - `country` string: A two-letter <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2' class='underline'>ISO 3166-1 alpha-2</a> country code. Pineprompt stores the value uppercased.
  - `language` string: A two-letter language code, such as `en` or `nl`. The field allows up to 10 characters so that regional variants may be expressed when needed.
  - `is_active` boolean: When set to `true`, the monitor will run on its next daily run. When set to `false`, the monitor is paused.

## Response `200`
