# Update API Client Credentials

Put/env-mgmt/1.0/api-key/clients/{id}

This API enables users to update API Client Credentials associated with a specific Tenant or Environment.

### Notice

 Accessing the Policy Management APIs is through a dedicated domain/URL according to your PlainID Tenant Location:   

  `https://api.{REGION}.plainid.io`
    
   

**United States (US)** - `https://api.us1.plainid.io` **Canada (US)** - `https://api.ca1.plainid.io` **Europe (US)** - `https://api.eu1.plainid.io`

Replace`{REGION}` with your PlainID Tenant region (e.g. us1, eu1, ca1, etc.).

  

### Important note about headers

Refer to the headers below to modify your cURL sample. Check if the following headers are in the sample, if not, ensure you add it to your cURL sample before pasting into your API tool.   
 

#### Headers

 *Required 

| Header | Value | cURL Line |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Accept | `application/json` | `-H"Accept: application/json"` |
| Content-Type | `application/json` | `-H"Content-Type: application/json"` |

  

### cURL Sample Guidelines

In order for the relevant parameters to appear in the cURL sample, you can input the values in the interactive API console on the right. They will then appear in the cURL sample on the bottom of the page in the correct format.

   

### Using HTML Encoded Special Characters
