Authorization
bearerAuth artists:updateA gallery API key, sent as Authorization: Bearer gpk_… (or the x-api-key header).
In: header
Scope: artists:update
Path Parameters
The artist id.
Query Parameters
Preview this operation without committing it. When true, the request is authenticated, scoped, and validated, but no side effect runs — no write, no idempotency claim, no audit event, no outbound delivery. The response is HTTP 200 with an X-Dry-Run: true header and a body of { "dry_run": true }, plus an effect object describing what the real call would change when this operation can resolve one.
Header Parameters
Optional. Send a unique key per logical operation to make retries safe: a retry with the same key replays the stored success for 14 days instead of re-running the write. Reusing a key with a different body returns 400.

Stages a past version as the artist's working draft (non-destructive — save to make it current).
Update an artist PATCH
Updates an artist's editable fields (name, filing name, biography, statement, CV, socials, published contact). Only the fields you pass change. For a member, edits accumulate in the working draft until the next save; for an API key or an installed app, they land on the record. Pass `draft` to choose; `applied_to` in the response says where the write went.
