# Update Site

PATCH https://api.coperniq.io/v1/sites/{site_id}
Content-Type: application/json

Update an existing site. All fields are optional — only provided fields are changed.

> **Moving a site to a different account:** Use `POST /sites/{site_id}/move` instead. `accountId` cannot be changed on a site update.

> **Note on `geoLocation` and `fullAddress`:** Sending either field on update triggers geocoding — the backend may overwrite the stored coordinates with what Google Maps snaps to for the nearest address, so the values you send may not be stored as-is. There is currently no way to update coordinates without allowing the geocoder to potentially adjust them.

Reference: https://docs.coperniq.io/api-reference/sites/update-site

## Authentication

- `x-api-key` header (required) — API Key authentication via header

## Request

### Path parameters

- `site_id` (string, required)

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a SiteUpdate.

- `fullAddress` (string, optional) — Full address string. Backend will re-geocode when updated.
- `geoLocation` (string, optional) — Latitude/longitude as "lat,lng". **On update**, sending this triggers a full re-geocode — the backend snaps to the nearest address via Google Maps, so the stored value may differ from what you sent.
- `title` (string, optional)
- `street` (string, optional)
- `city` (string, optional)
- `state` (string, optional)
- `zipcode` (string, optional)
- `timezone` (string, optional) — IANA timezone string (e.g. "America/Los_Angeles"). Use this to manually override the timezone if the geocoded value is incorrect or you are migrating from a system that has an explicit timezone already set.

## Response

### 200

Site updated successfully

- `id` (integer, optional) — Unique site ID.
- `accountId` (integer, optional) — ID of the account this site belongs to.
- `title` (string, optional, nullable) — Human-readable label for the site (e.g. "Main Office").
- `fullAddress` (string, optional, nullable) — Full formatted address string.
- `street` (string, optional, nullable)
- `city` (string, optional, nullable)
- `state` (string, optional, nullable)
- `zipcode` (string, optional, nullable)
- `geoLocation` (string, optional, nullable) — Latitude/longitude as "lat,lng" (e.g. "37.7749,-122.4194").
- `timezone` (string, optional, nullable) — IANA timezone string (e.g. "America/Los_Angeles").
- `createdAt` (string, optional, nullable)
- `updatedAt` (string, optional, nullable)
