If you want to update a transfer you need to specify its transfer code, as well as the parameters you want to update.

Examples are provided in JSON format.

NOTE: Remember to substitute the token (after Bearer) and the service id (the "xyz" below) to your own token and service id.

## JSON:

Edit transfer 4 from service with id [SERVICE ID], with a new description "updated transfer description".

```
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer [API SECURITY TOKEN]"
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"
  -H "Accept: application/json"
  -X PATCH
  -d "{\"description\":\"updated transfer description\"} }}"
  http://staging.myrapidi.com/api/v2/service/[SERVICE ID]/transfers/4
```

The output for this example would be:

```

  "id": 4,

  "description": "updated transfer description",
