Hi. I am using n8n cloiud. I am trying to persist a credential obtained via a http request. To credential type is Header Authorization. I can “manually” update de credential. I am trying to update via n8n API call. I was able to “create” a new credential. But I was not able to PATCH an existing …

Did “credential update request” implemented? That would be useful now, otherwise I need to delete credentials and create again

That did not get implemented yet and will, if implemented, be probably be only available with the Team plan.

Hi @jgggr, I am afraid there is currently no supported way of updating credentials through the REST API. I can see you have already voted on the respective feature request, so let’s hope this will be implemented in the future.
