{"error":"incident is missing"} when using PATCH or PUT to update an incident

[Norman Khine]

Hello,

When I try to submit a PATCH or PUT request to update an incident, I get:

{"error":"incident is missing"} 

Here is my request:

curl --location --request PATCH 'https://api.statuspage.io/v1/pages/xxxx/incidents/lf7****nf2?api_key=xxx' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
"incident": "Requests Failed (500)",
"status": "identified"
}'

I have also tried with Authorization: Oauth <api-key> approach

I am able to create an incident and am also able to list them, so I am unsure what is going on.

I am following https://developer.statuspage.io/#operation/putPagesPageIdIncidentsIncidentId and https://developer.statuspage.io/#operation/patchPagesPageIdIncidentsIncidentId

What am I missing?

Any advice is much appreciated

Hey Norman 

Yeah, you're going to need to wrap everything in an incident container. So your call would need to look similar to the example shown on doers.statuspage.io - 

curl https://api.statuspage.io/v1/pages/{page_id}/incidents.json \
-H "Authorization: OAuth **************" \
-X PATCH \
-d "incident[name]=Requests Failed (500)" \
-d "incident[status]=identified" \
-d "incident[body]=Sample update" \
-d "incident[component_ids][]=yxrqcr0kc3hx" \
