Method: fhir.patch

Full name: projects.locations.datasets.fhirStores.fhir.patch

Updates part of an existing resource by applying the operations specified in a JSON Patch document.

Implements the FHIR standard patch interaction (STU3, R4).

DSTU2 doesn't define a patch method, but the server supports it in the same way it supports STU3.

The request body must contain a JSON Patch document, and the request headers must contain Content-Type: application/json-patch+json.

On success, the response body contains a JSON-encoded representation of the updated resource, including the server-assigned version ID. Errors generated by the FHIR store contain a JSON-encoded OperationOutcome resource describing the reason for the error. If the request cannot be mapped to a valid API method on a FHIR store, a generic GCP error might be returned instead.

For samples that show how to call patch, see Patching a FHIR resource.
