Update a topic
Rename it, re-describe it, flip default_opt_in, or archive it.
key is absent from the body on purpose. Every stored preference and every integration refers to a topic by its key, so changing one would orphan them silently. There is no DELETE for the same reason — archived: true removes the topic from the preference centre and from new sends while every opt-out recorded against it survives.
Requires the topics:write scope — Create and edit topics, and change what your contacts are subscribed to — this decides who your campaigns reach.
API key authentication. Use a sk_* (FULL) or pk_* (SENDING_ONLY) key as the bearer token. Public keys (pk_*) are restricted to the email-send endpoints and the self-serve list subscribe/unsubscribe pair; every other endpoint — event tracking included — answers 403 for them. In scope terms (used by /api/v1/* operations): FULL keys hold every scope; SENDING_ONLY keys hold only emails:send.
