How to update the content/body of confluence homepage via API?

[Paul Lam]

I called GET /rest/api/content/<homepage-id>, and looked at the api docs, nothing there seem to help a lot with updating the content of confluence homepage. 

I tried the following as well: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Can-you-programmatically-create-a-banner-for-a-Confluence-space/qaq-p/2033185, still no luck.

Is this achievable via API?  If so, how is it done?

Figured out.  I used GET /space/<spaceID>/content?expand=body.storage,version to get the HTML of the homepage, do some HTML parsing and modifications, then PUT /content/<contentID> to modify the homepage.

Lmk if there's a simpler way of modifying one section of the HomePage
