Update Itemsets
Use this API to update both Measurement (Featured & Halo) and Targeting itemsets
Note:
- PUT API requests will overwrite all current values and are not intended to be used as incremental updates like PATCH operations
- Halo itemsets that have been auto generated, cannot be updated
- Updating Featured (measurement) itemsets - You can only update item based Featured (measurement) itemsets. Older Featured (measurement) itemset that might be brand based cannot be updated unless it's converted to a brand based itemset
- This endpoint initiates an asynchronous process to update an itemset. While a unique itemsetId is returned immediately, it does not indicate that the itemset is fully built or ready for use. You must use the POST/api/v1/itemsets/list endpoint to check the status of the itemset before using it further.
