# Update Resource
> Partially update an existing resource. Only fields included in the request body are changed.
## Path Parameters
The numeric ID of the server.
The numeric ID of the resource to update.
## Body Parameters
All fields are optional. Omitted fields are left unchanged.
New URI for the resource. Any URI scheme is valid (e.g. `docs://`, `file:///`, custom schemes).
New display name.
New description.
New MIME type (e.g. `text/plain`, `text/markdown`, `application/json`).
New data source type. One of: `static`, `url`, `wp_query`, `callback`.
When changing this, always send an updated `data_source_config` matching the new type.
New configuration for the data source. Send as a JSON object. Shape depends on `data_source_type`:
**`static`**
```json theme={null}
{ "content": "Your static content here." }
```
**`url`**
```json theme={null}
{ "url": "https://api.example.com/data.json", "cache_ttl": 300 }
```
**`wp_query`**
```json theme={null}
{ "post_type": "post", "posts_per_page": 10, "orderby": "date", "order": "DESC" }
```
**`callback`**
```json theme={null}
{ "callback": "my_plugin_resource_callback" }
```
New URI template for parameterized resources (e.g. `file:///data/{id}.json`).
