Updating records from .json (REST) files

Hello,

How can I update multiple records (without calling the single id) with the "update" method from json source?


PUT / PATCH / contacts
Content-Type: application / json
[
     {
         "FirstName": "my first name (1)",
         "LastName": "my last name (1)"
         (...)
     },
     {
         "FirstName": "my first name (2)",
         "LastName": "my last name (2)"
         (...)
     },
     (...)
]


Thank you

Hiya there! Use Markdown Cheatsheet to wrap your code in order for programmers to understand the code. Cheatsheet link is right below in bold alphabets. Do that and then i might be able to understand whats going on (:
