In your app

A function makes the call on the client it is given, so your code passes the real one and a test passes a fake.

Add the function

src/attract/replace-faq-item.ts
The other values are the example’s: take yours from the request, a form or your database.

Call it

A script makes the client once and calls the function:
scripts/replace-faq-item.ts
Terminal
A route handler, a job or a queue worker calls it the same way.
PATCH changes only the fields sent. Update an existing FAQ item.

Find the id

id is the document’s _id, from a list. Ask the list for only the fields you need: each row is a document’s id and those fields.
TypeScript
Pass row.id as id. Drafts: list with { aposMode: 'draft' } to get the draft’s id (Find an id).

Required parameters

One object, e.g. replaceFaqItem({ id }); leave out the optional fields.
string
required
Required. The document’s _id: a full id names its own locale and mode (the draft’s …:en:draft, the published one’s …:en:published; no aposMode needed), a bare aposDocId takes the request’s (aposLocale, aposMode).
string
required
Required. The question exactly as a visitor would ask it — it renders as the accordion row and in the page’s FAQ structured data.
RichTextMax1Area
required
Required. Widgets, top to bottom: send { "items": [ … ] }, one object per widget with its type. Writing it replaces the whole area.
AposMode | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses "published". published (the default) or draft. Drafts need a credential that may see them: an API key with the type’s write scope (content:<type>:write), or a signed-in editor. The public and a key with only the read scope get 403. One of draft, published.
string | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out (or pass null) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. The locale to read or write, e.g. en (default: the site’s default locale).
readonly Readonly<Record<string, unknown>>[] | null | undefined
Optional. Optional. FAQ sections can group questions under category subheadings and filter to specific categories. Manage the list under FAQ Categories. The related faq-category documents, in order (empty when none). To set it, send a list of { "_id": "…" }, one per document (one at most); a document the site can’t find is left out. At most 1 items.
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses false. Hand-curation flag: FAQ sections can show only featured questions — e.g. a short top-questions block on the home page.
number | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses 0. Questions are listed lowest number first — the explicit FAQ order.
string | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses "". The URL name: lowercase words joined by hyphens (letters outside a–z, even emoji, are kept). Left out, it’s made from the title.
Visibility | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses "public". Select whether this content is public or private. One of public, loginRequired.
string | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out (or pass null) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. An ISO 8601 date and time, e.g. 2026-10-21T14:30:00.000Z.
string | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out (or pass null) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. An ISO 8601 date and time, e.g. 2026-10-21T14:30:00.000Z.
readonly FaqItemFaqFontOverridesItem[] | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out (or pass null) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. Optional. Set part of this question’s card in a different typeface. Leave empty to follow the section (and the site fonts). At most 4 items.
boolean | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses false. In the archive: kept, but out of every list and off the site until it is restored. false (or null) for a live document.
A FaqItem. FaqItem content type. Read its properties (faqItem.title): each says whether the site always sends it. The example answer is the site’s wire JSON: some keys differ from the property names (_id → id, _category → category).
string
Always sent. The question exactly as a visitor would ask it — it renders as the accordion row and in the page’s FAQ structured data.
RichTextMax1Area
Always sent. A RichTextMax1Area. Widgets, top to bottom: send { "items": [ … ] }, one object per widget with its type. Writing it replaces the whole area.
string
Always sent. The URL name: lowercase words joined by hyphens (letters outside a–z, even emoji, are kept).
string
Always sent. The document’s id. On a type with drafts it ends in its locale and mode (…:en:published, …:en:draft): the part before the first colon is its aposDocId, shared by both copies. The {_id} the type’s routes take.
string
Always sent. The document type’s name: always this type’s.
readonly Readonly<Record<string, unknown>>[] | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. Optional. FAQ sections can group questions under category subheadings and filter to specific categories. Manage the list under FAQ Categories. The related faq-category documents, in order (empty when none). To set it, send a list of { "_id": "…" }, one per document (one at most); a document the site can’t find is left out. At most 1 items.
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. Hand-curation flag: FAQ sections can show only featured questions — e.g. a short top-questions block on the home page.
number | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. Questions are listed lowest number first — the explicit FAQ order.
Visibility | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. Select whether this content is public or private. One of public, loginRequired; a newer site may send others, so keep a fallback.
string | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. An ISO 8601 date and time, e.g. 2026-10-21T14:30:00.000Z.

FaqCategorySource | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. Set automatically. Demo placeholders are removed the moment a real question is published. One of manual, demo; a newer site may send others, so keep a fallback.
string | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. Internal de-duplication key set by the demo seed.
boolean | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. In the archive: kept, but out of every list and off the site until it is restored. false (or null) for a live document.
Date | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. When it was created (ISO 8601). Format: an ISO 8601 date and time.
Date | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. When it last changed (ISO 8601). Format: an ISO 8601 date and time.
string | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. The draft’s preview share key, while its share link is on: the link is the draft’s _url with aposShareKey and aposShareId (the draft’s _id) in its query. Absent otherwise, and on published documents.
Nothing to catch: the SDK retries what is safe, and throws the rest as the classes below; catch only what you want to react to (see Errors and testing).
400
The site refused what was sent: errors lists each field’s problem, siteMessage the first.Retried first: No. Read: errors (field → messages), siteMessage.
401
The API key is missing or refused (malformed, revoked, expired), or a signature its signing mode needs is missing or stale.Retried first: No. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.
403
The key may not do this: a scope it lacks, or an address outside its allowlist. siteMessage names it.Retried first: No. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.
404
Nothing matches, or the caller may not see it.Retried first: No. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.
500
The site failed. Its logs say why.Retried first: No: a write may have landed. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.
no answer
No answer: DNS, a refused connection, TLS, or the timeout (15 s per attempt by default).Retried first: Only when nothing reached the site (neverConnected()); never after a timeout, when it may have landed. Read: reason, neverConnected.
not sent
The client refused to send it (e.g. a path segment of ..); the site never saw it.Retried first: No. Read: reason (what to change).
any other
Any other status, or a success whose JSON doesn’t match this SDK version’s types (update the SDK).Retried first: No. Read: reason, status.
setup
sites.forSite('acme') named a slug your sites (createSiteClients()) don’t have.Retried first: No: nothing was sent. Read: message, slug.
setup
The client’s settings are wrong: no FETCHSKI_ATTRACT_URL (or baseUrl), or a malformed API key.Retried first: No: nothing was sent. Read: message (what to fix).

Behavior

  • Access: an API key with content:faq-items:write (or a master above it: content:faq-items:all, content:all, admin:all). In published mode (the default) it goes live too, so the key also needs content:faq-items:publish (or a master above it); send aposMode=draft (or a draft _id and no aposMode) to change only the draft. A signed-in person may call it as far as their own permissions allow; anyone else gets 403.
  • Rate limit: the key’s own writes-per-minute limit, set when the key is created (default 120); over it, 429 with Retry-After. The client waits and retries for you; you see RateLimited only if that runs out.
  • Retries: a write is sent again only after a 429 (refused before it acted) or when it never reached the site. After a timeout or a 5xx it may have landed: check before you send it again.
  • Timeout: 15 s per attempt by default; raise timeout (milliseconds) on the client for longer.

Test it

It calls the function above with a fake client: the fake answers every call with a valid example, so nothing leaves your machine and no settings or key are needed. Run it with node --test.
tests/faqItems-replaceFaqItem.test.ts
Answer with your own values: fake faqItems.replaceFaqItem with factories.FaqItem({...}), the fields you give over a valid example.
