Update Record

PATCH https://api.sonorancad.com/v2/general/records/{recordId}

Rate limit: 10 requests per minute
Authenticated v2 endpoints are rate limited per API key rather than per IP address.

Update a custom record using template replacement values.

Path Parameters

Name	Type	Description
`recordId`	integer	Record ID.

Request Body

The recommended path is to set useDictionary to true, provide the target templateId, and pass replaceValues keyed by the template field placeholders. This avoids rebuilding the full record section and field structure. Advanced integrations may provide a full record object instead of useDictionary, templateId, and replaceValues, but this is not recommended unless you need full control over the raw record payload. When an account target is needed for the update flow, use communityUserId by default, or provide roblox, discord, or accountUuid.

{
  "communityUserId": "player-1234",
  "useDictionary": true,
  "templateId": 12,
  "replaceValues": {
    "plate": "XYZ987"
  }
}

If you need to submit a fully assembled record, you can provide record instead. This is an advanced option and is not recommended for most integrations:

{
  "communityUserId": "player-1234",
  "record": {
    "type": 9,
    "name": "Incident Report",
    "sections": []
  }
}

Example Request

-- luarocks install sonoran.lua
-- For SonoranCADFiveM in-game usage, see the SonoranCADFiveM tab for the export-based client.
local Sonoran = require("sonoran")

local sonoran = Sonoran.createClient({
  product = Sonoran.productEnums.CAD,
  communityId = "YOUR_COMMUNITY_ID",
  apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY",
  defaultServerId = 1
})

local response = sonoran.cad:updateRecordV2(501, {
    communityUserId = 'player-1234',
    useDictionary = true,
    templateId = 12,
    replaceValues = {
        ["plate"] = "XYZ987"
    },
  })

-- Inspect response.success, response.data, or response.reason as needed.
print(response.success)

Use this tab only when calling the v2 API from the server side of an in-game FiveM resource.

Sonoran.lua and Sonoran.js: use the sonorancad export to get the ready CAD client.
Sonoran.Net: FiveM exports do not return a .NET client. Read the Sonoran CAD convars and create a fresh client.
Sonoran.py: FiveM does not run Python resources; use the Python tab for external integrations.

The API key is stored in sonoran_apiKey as a protected FiveM convar. FiveM restricts a convar after add_convar_permission is configured, so only explicitly permitted resources can read it. Grant another resource access with add_convar_permission your-resource-name read sonoran_apiKey. If you change the API key in config.json, fully restart the sonorancad resource before reading the updated convar value.Sonoran.lua

local cad = exports["sonorancad"]:getCadClient()

Sonoran.js

const cad = exports["sonorancad"].getCadClient();

Sonoran.Net

// dotnet add package Sonoran.Net

using Sonoran;

var communityId = API.GetConvar("sonoran_communityID", "");
var apiKey = API.GetConvar("sonoran_apiKey", "");
var serverIdRaw = API.GetConvar("sonoran_serverId", "1");
var serverId = int.TryParse(serverIdRaw, out var parsedServerId) ? parsedServerId : 1;

{
    product = SonoranProduct.CAD,
    communityId = communityId,

After getting the Lua export client:

local response = cad:updateRecordV2(501, {
    communityUserId = 'player-1234',
    useDictionary = true,
    templateId = 12,
    replaceValues = {

    },
  })

-- Inspect response.success, response.data, or response.reason as needed.
