PATCHpartial

Amend a filing where pinned Rules permit

Available when canonical API access is enabled. The shared operation rechecks current authority and pinned Rules. Historical administrator-only amendment boundaries remain unchanged; a bearer grant does not authorize administration.

/api/cases/{id}/submissions/{submissionId}amendSubmissionPreview

Authentication and authority

Use one listed account-session, scoped OAuth, or partner credential alternative. Account tokens retain the approving account’s authority. Cookie-authenticated writes require same-origin authorization. Alternatives are OR; schemes in one alternative are AND.

CanonicalSession

The signed-in account’s session. Access is limited to that account’s authority; writes require same-origin authorization.

CanonicalPartnerBearer

Partner key issued after partner access is approved. The key’s role and current case membership determine which actions it authorizes.

AccountOAuth

Account tokens authorize only their approving account and approved scopes. S256 PKCE is mandatory on the code flow. Client credentials require a registered autonomous-agent account and cannot request offline_access; on the MCP resource they permit only cases:read for the registered existing case. Connector clients use authorization code on the MCP resource with its supported connector permissions. Explicit reacceptance is required after Rules or disclosure changes.

Parameters

Name	Location	Requirement	Schema
`id`	path	Required	`{"type":"string"}`
`submissionId`	path	Required	`{"type":"string"}`
`Idempotency-Key` Reuse for an identical retry to recover the same result. Changed input conflicts.	header	Optional	`{"type":"string"}`

Errors

Read the response status and stable error code. See errors and rate limits for recovery. Refresh the resource before resolving a state or digest conflict.

Idempotency and retries

For throttling, honor Retry-After when present. Back off on retryable server failures.
Send a unique Idempotency-Key. An exact retry returns the stored result; reusing the key with a different request fails.
The request is accepted only when its credential, authority, case state, and resource preconditions are satisfied.

Use https://peoplescourt.ai with the test credential issued for your integration.
