Bulk-update API-origin skills resolved by source + externalId locator.
Testing notes:
- Use the testing widget's Try It! option to test this endpoint.
- Use the Examples > Request Example option to see how to initiate body parameters. Copy the example into an external tool if needed.
Error handling:
This endpoint always returns HTTP 200 when the request is accepted, even if some items in the items array fail.
- Inspect the
resultsarray for every item — do not assume all skills were updated because the top-level call returned 200. - Each result includes
index(matching the request item),status(succeededorfailed),httpStatus, and either aresourceor anerrorsarray. - Items are resolved only by
/skill/source+/skill/externalId. Locators that point to Bob-created (non-API-origin) skills are reported as not found. - Common per-item failures include missing locator fields, no writable field provided, skill not found, and unknown proficiency level IDs.
- Retry only after correcting the failed items. Successful items in the same request are already updated.
