# Update a script

To update a script, perform an HTTP PUT using the `/json{/realm}/scripts` endpoint, specifying the UUID in both the URL and the PUT body. Include a JSON representation of the updated script in the `PUT` data alongside the UUID.

```bash
$ curl \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <access-token>" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.1" \
--request PUT \
--data '{
