How to update amount of a piggy bank via api

[AdriDevelopsThings]

Hi,

I don't have any experience with the firefly iii api and tried to update the amount of a piggy bank using a HTTP PUT request, my request looks like this:

PUT https://<my-instance>/api/v1/piggy-banks/18 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/vnd.api+json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>

{'accounts': [{'account_id': '8'}], 'current_amount': '4.22'}

The request works, but the amount of the piggy bank does not changed. A piggy bank change event is created and says "0.00€ added". What am I doing wrong? Or is this a bug?

I would mention that the api documentation seems to be broken because it says the key for the account id is accounts.k.id but it's accounts.k.account_id, maybe I should open an issue for that.

Hey, thanks for opening a discussion.

1. I've updated the docs to say account_id instead of id.
2. You should add the current_amount to the array where you put the account_id.

Ah thanks, it works now!
