# Update face event

> Update face event.

```http
POST https://api2.rhombussystems.com/api/faceRecognition/faceEvent/updateFaceEvent
```

EU organizations send the same request to `https://api2.eu.rhombussystems.com`.

## Authentication and parameters

- `x-auth-apikey` (header, required): Your Rhombus API key. Must be accompanied by the `x-auth-scheme` header set to `api-token` (or `partner-api-token` for partner endpoints).
- `Authorization` (header): instead of an API key, an OAuth access token (`Bearer <token>`) with the `write` scope.
- `x-auth-scheme` (header, string, default: `api-token`): Authentication scheme identifier. Use `api-token` or `partner-api-token` with the `x-auth-apikey` header, `api` or `partner-api` with `x-auth-apikey` plus a client certificate, `api-oauth-token` or `partner-api-oauth-token` with `x-auth-access-token`, and `federated-token` with `x-auth-ft`. A request with `Authorization: Bearer <token>` and no `x-auth-scheme` is treated as OAuth, and `federated-token` may also be sent as the `x-auth-scheme` and `x-auth-ft` query parameters. One of: `api-token`, `api`, `api-oauth-token`, `federated-token`, `partner-api-token`, `partner-api`, `partner-api-oauth-token`.
- `x-auth-org` (header, string<RUUID>): Client organization UUID (22-character RUUID), for partner credentials only. With it the call runs in that client organization with the partner support authority's role. Without it a partner credential runs as the partner organization, which outside the partner endpoints is deprecated (responses carry `Deprecation` and `Sunset: Tue, 05 Jan 2027 00:00:00 GMT`). A malformed value returns 400 `INVALID_AUTH_ORG`; a client organization the partner cannot access returns 403 `PARTNER_CLIENT_ACCESS_DENIED`.

## Request body

Content type: `application/json`. Request object for updating a face event with person association information.

- `eventUuid` (string<RUUID> | null): base 64 (url-safe) uuid string
- `personName` (string | null): Name of the person associated with the face event. Ignored if person UUID matches to one of the top person matches.
- `personUuid` (string<RUUID> | null): base 64 (url-safe) uuid string

## Response 200

OK. Content type: `application/json`

- `faceEvent` (object): External face event object containing face recognition data with person matches, embeddings, and metadata.

## Errors

Also 400, 401, 403, 429, 500, 503 with the standard error body (`errorCode`, `errorMsg`): https://developer.rhombus.com/errors
