How to complete the challenge PUT /todos/{id} no body id (200)

By Alan Richardson · Published 2026-08-01

Issue a PUT request to /todos/{id} and do not include an id field in the request body.

This is a common PUT design: the URL identifies the resource and the body supplies the replacement state.

Basic Instructions

• Send PUT /todos/{id} where {id} is an existing todo id
• Add an X-CHALLENGER header to track challenge completion
• Set Content-Type to application/json
• Do not include an id field in the JSON payload
• Include a valid title
• Verify the response status is 200

Example body:

{
  "title": "updated using URL id",
  "doneStatus": false,
  "description": "the id is only in the URL"
}

If you don't know what todos are available then you can check by GET /todos. See the solution.

If you have already deleted all todos, create one using POST /todos. See the solution.
