How to update an application from the Cloudron API?

[martinkbs]

Hi guys,

I am trying to launch an application update through the Cloudron API, and it returns the following error:

{
    "status": "Bad Request",
    "message": "appStoreId or manifest is required"
}

How should the appStoreId be defined to generate the update?

I have tried to launch individual backups of the application with the same API Token and it has worked without problems.

That was the piece of information I was missing. Now it works perfect.

How much time am I going to save updating WordPress Developer applications...

Thank you @girish

For apps installed via the app store, you have to set appStoreId. For this, pass appStoreId of the form id@newversion. Internally, cloudron will download the manifest from appstore for the associated id and new version.

For custom apps, you have to set the manifest. For the latter, just pass the new manifest in the manifest.

Thanks @girish, but there must be something I'm forgetting.

I have tried to push a pending update of the FreeScout application (to version 1.9.0), and I have tried to pass the appStoreId as you say and I get the same error.

Is there any other parameter to take into account?

@martinkbs POST request arguments have to be send in the body in our API and not as query parameters.
