# Patch resume data

Applies JSON Patch (RFC 6902) operations to partially update a resume's data. This allows small, targeted changes (e.g. updating a single field) without sending the entire resume object. Locked resumes cannot be patched. Requires authentication.

```http
PATCH https://hiresweep.com/api/openapi/resumes/{id}
x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY
```

## Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | path | string | Yes |  |
