Hello, this is Corey Schmidt, ArchivesSpace Project Manager at the University of Georgia. I hope you all are doing well and staying cool!<br>
<br>
<span>I'm trying to update records via the API using the Update a Resource endpoint (<a href="https://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/api/#update-a-resource">https://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/api/#update-a-resource</a>).</span> I found Duke
made a script (<a href="https://github.com/duke-libraries/archivesspace-duke-scripts/blob/master/python/asnake_update_all_resources_and_aos.py">https://github.com/duke-libraries/archivesspace-duke-scripts/blob/master/python/asnake_update_all_resources_and_aos.py</a>)
to do this very thing and I modeled my request on that example. I also found what I think is the code for the endpoint, found in backend/app/controllers/resource.rb file, line 114 (<a href="https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/0c4cb2dd263bbeacdbce70567ccbb86634cde769/backend/app/controllers/resource.rb#L114">https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/0c4cb2dd263bbeacdbce70567ccbb86634cde769/backend/app/controllers/resource.rb#L114</a>).<br>
<br>
<div>However, no matter the combinations I try for the request, I'm getting a <Response [400]> error with the following message: "error":"Had some trouble parsing your request: unexpected token at <<i>proceeds to quote entire json record</i>><br>
</div>
<div><br>
The following is the code I'm running in python:<br>

I've attached the json file to this email.<br>

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!<br>
