Overview

Modify labels on a specific asset with granular control over how labels are updated. This endpoint provides three update modes (append, replace, delete) for managing labels on individual assets.

​
Update Modes

​
Append Mode (Default)

Add new labels while keeping existing ones: 
curl -X PATCH "https://api.projectdiscovery.io/v1/asset/123456/labels?update_type=append" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "labels": ["new-label"]
  }'

​
Replace Mode

Replace all existing labels with new ones: 
curl -X PATCH "https://api.projectdiscovery.io/v1/asset/123456/labels?update_type=replace" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "labels": ["only-these-labels"]
  }'

​
Delete Mode

Remove specific labels from the asset: 
curl -X PATCH "https://api.projectdiscovery.io/v1/asset/123456/labels?update_type=delete" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
