Update a Swiss Tournament

[unique minnow]

Hey,

I have some questions about around: 'Create a new Swiss tournament' and 'Update a Swiss tournament'.

1. Should I use: ''application/x-www-form-urlencoded' or 'Content-Type: application/json'?
   The API docs mentions: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'. But I find it much easier to use the JSON.

2. Is the 'Update a Swiss tournament' working as intended (or am I a dummy)?
   I am getting Cross origin request forbidden every time.

cURL of 'Create a new Swiss tournament' API (working fine):

--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer lip_sometoken' \
--data '{
  "clock": {
    "limit": 300,
    "increment": 3
  },
  "nbRounds": 5
}'```

cURL of 'Update a Swiss tournament' API (not working):

```curl --location 'https://lichess.org/api/swiss/sometournament/edit' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer lip_sometoken \
--data '{
  "clock": {
    "limit": 300,
    "increment": 3
  },
  "nbRounds": 5
}'```

Already thankful for the help.

a) --header 'Content-Type: application/json' should be --header 'Accept: application/json'
b) --data argument must be of the form param1=value1&param2=value2

I have updated according to your suggestions.

--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer lip_sometoken' \
--data 'nbRounds=6'```

Yet I continue to receive 'Cross origin request forbidden'.
I am able to use the API to create and delete tournaments but I cannot update them.

Don't know then - maybe it's borked. You could run with curl --verbose to look for logs.

Indeed, looks borked. Tried with the clock.limit and clock.increment parameters too, which are marked as required in the documenattion - still a no no...

Thanks for checking.

Should I raise a issue here?

https://github.com/lichess-org/lila/issues <--- this one, I think. The one you linked is more for the API documentation, I think.

Will do. The API documentation is indeed flawless.
