Method: fhir.update

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

Updates the entire contents of a resource.

Implements the FHIR standard update interaction (DSTU2, STU3, R4, R5).

If the specified resource does not exist and the FHIR store has enableUpdateCreate set, creates the resource with the client-specified ID. It is strongly advised not to include or encode any sensitive data such as patient identifiers in client-specified resource IDs. Those IDs are part of the FHIR resource path recorded in Cloud Audit Logs and Pub/Sub notifications. Those IDs can also be contained in reference fields within other resources.

The request body must contain a JSON-encoded FHIR resource, and the request headers must contain Content-Type: application/fhir+json. The resource must contain an id element having an identical value to the ID in the REST path of the request.

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.

The conditional update interaction If-None-Match is supported, including the wildcard behaviour, as defined by the R5 spec. This functionality is supported in R4 and R5.
