Self Hosted (Docker)

Steps to reproduce

I am using the Dify API and trying to update specific segments within a document using the PATCH method. However, I keep getting a "405 Method Not Allowed" error. Could you confirm if segment updates are supported, and if so, provide the correct API method and endpoint for this operation?

To modify or add answers to a CHUNK using the Dify API, you should use the POST method instead of PATCH, as the PATCH method is not supported for updating specific segments within a document. Here is how you can update a segment:

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.dify.ai/v1/datasets/{dataset_id}/documents/{document_id}/segments/{segment_id}' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {api_key}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{"segment": {"content": "1","answer": "1", "keywords": ["a"], "enabled": false}}'

This request allows you to update the content, answer, keywords, and enabled status of a specific segment ^[1].
