Example error response:

{
  "error": "Validation failed: Password can't be blank, Username must contain only letters, numbers and underscores, Agreement must be accepted",
  "details": {
    "password": [
      {
        "error": "ERR_BLANK",

      }
    ],
    "username": [

        "description": "must contain only letters, numbers and underscores"
      }
    ],
    "agreement": [
      {
        "error": "ERR_ACCEPTED",
        "description": "must be accepted"
      }

Update account credentials

PATCH /api/v1/accounts/update_credentials HTTP/1.1

Update the user's display and preferences.

Returns: the user's own [Account]({{< relref "entities/Account">}}) with [source]({{< relref "entities/Account#source">}}) attribute
OAuth: User token + write:accounts
Version history:
1.1.1 - added
2.3.0 - added locked parameter
2.4.0 - added source[privacy,sensitive] parameters
2.7.0 - added discoverable parameter

Request

Headers
Authorization
{{}} Provide this header with Bearer <user token> to gain authorized access to this API method.
Form data parameters
display_name
String. The display name to use for the profile.
note
String. The account bio.
avatar
Avatar image encoded using multipart/form-data
header
Header image encoded using multipart/form-data
locked
Boolean. Whether manual approval of follow requests is required.
bot
Boolean. Whether the account has a bot flag.
discoverable
Boolean. Whether the account should be shown in the profile directory.
fields_attributes
Hash. The profile fields to be set. Inside this hash, the key is an integer cast to a string (although the exact integer does not matter), and the value is another hash including name and value. By default, max 4 fields.
fields_attributes[:index][name]
String. The name of the profile field. By default, max 255 characters.
fields_attributes[:index][value]
String. The value of the profile field. By default, max 255 characters.
source[privacy]
String. Default post privacy for authored statuses. Can be public, unlisted, or private.
source[sensitive]
Boolean. Whether to mark authored statuses as sensitive by default.
source[language]
String. Default language to use for authored statuses (ISO 6391)

Response

200: OK

To update account fields, you will need to construct your hash like so for example:

{
  "fields_attributes": {
    "0": {
      "name": "Website",
      "value": "https://trwnh.com"
    },
    "1": {
      "name": "Sponsor",
      "value": "https://liberapay.com/at"
    },
    // ...
  }
}

As query parameters, your request may look something like this:

PATCH https://mastodon.example/api/v1/accounts/update_credentials
?fields_attributes[0][name]=Website
&fields_attributes[0][value]=https://trwnh.com
&fields_attributes[1][name]=Sponsor
&fields_attributes[1][value]=https://liberapay.com/at
&...

Note that the integer index does not actually matter -- fields will be populated by the order in which they are provided. For example:

{
  "fields_attributes": {
    "420": {
      "name": "1st",
      "value": "field"
    },
    "69": {
      "name": "2nd",
      "value": "field"
    },
    "1312": {
      "name": "3rd",
      "value": "field"
    },
    "-99999999999999999999999999999999": {
      "name": "4th",
      "value": "field"
    },
  }
}

You should use accounts/verify_credentials to first obtain plaintext representations from within the source parameter, then allow the user to edit these plaintext representations before submitting them through this API. The server will generate the corresponding HTML.
