This endpoint enables mutating a given record in a table, referenced by its ID.

Expected Parameters

Name	Description	In	Required	Schema
`db_branch_name`	The DBBranchName matches the pattern `{db_name}:{branch_name}`.	path	✅	string
`table_name`	The Table name	path	✅	string
`record_id`	The Record name	path	✅	string

Insert Record With ID

PUT https://{your-workspace-slug}.xata.sh/db/{db_branch_name}/tables/{table_name}/data/{record_id}/

By default, IDs are auto-generated when data is insterted into Xata. Sending a request to this endpoint allows us to insert a record with a pre-existing ID, bypassing the default automatic ID generation.

Expected Parameters

Name	Description	In	Required	Schema
`createOnly`		query	-	boolean
`ifVersion`		query	-	integer
