Management

Patch app

This API is in beta. Endpoints, fields, and behavior may still change, so avoid depending on it in production.

Changes the app’s details and settings. That covers its name and description, who can open it, how people sign in, and a few display settings.

Send only the fields you want to change. A field you leave out keeps its value, and so does a login method you leave out of auth_config. Update app and Patch app make the same update. Patch app answers errors in the standard error format.

Renaming doesn’t change the app’s address. Change that with Change app slug.

A new public_settings value applies to the published app right away, and so does whether others can remix the app. Changes to auth_config, the Base44 badge, and hide_entity_created_by take effect on the published app once you deploy the app, or sooner if a public_settings change carries them along.

Limited to 60 requests a minute per caller.

This endpoint also accepts other app fields, but only the fields documented here are part of this API. Don’t send anything else. Other fields aren’t covered by the contract and can change or be rejected without notice.

Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

Personal access token, sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>. Each operation lists the permission it needs: read_only or full_access. A full-access token can call every operation. A read-only token can call only the operations that list read_only; anything else returns 403 read_only_credential_route_not_allowed.

Path Parameters

Body

application/json

name

string

New name for the app.

Example:

"Nordwind Furniture"

user_description

string | null

New description for the app, or null to remove it.

Example:

"An online catalog and order tracker for a furniture workshop."

public_settings

enum<string>

Who can open the published app. public_without_login lets anyone in, unless the workspace enforces SSO for apps, in which case visitors must log in. public_with_login lets anyone in who logs in, workspace_with_login admits only logged-in members of the workspace, and private_with_login admits only users who were granted access. Switching to workspace_with_login or private_with_login needs a paid plan, and a workspace policy can restrict which values you can choose. An agent app always stays private_with_login.

Available options:

public_without_login,

public_with_login,

workspace_with_login,

private_with_login

Example:

"public_with_login"

auth_config

object

Which login methods the app's login page offers. Send only the methods you want to change. If the workspace enforces SSO for apps, the login page offers only SSO, whatever these are set to. Set up the app's own SSO provider with Update app SSO settings.

Show child attributes

Example:

{
  "enable_username_password": true,
  "enable_google_login": false
}

is_remixable

boolean

true shows the Base44 badge on the published app and lets others remix it. The badge only shows while the app is public_with_login or public_without_login. false hides the badge and turns remixing off, which needs a paid plan on the app's workspace.

Example:

false

hide_entity_created_by

boolean

true leaves the email of the user who created each record (created_by) out of the app's entity records, and false includes it. created_by_id is always included. Newer apps always leave the email out and ignore this field.

Example:

true

dev_environment_enabled

boolean

true turns on test data. The app gets a test database next to its live one, so you can try changes in the preview without touching live data. Turning it on needs a Builder plan or higher on the app's workspace. false turns it off.

Example:

true

Response

The app, with its new details.

string

ID of the app.

Example:

"6820f3a4e7b91d003c45a1f2"

created_date

string<date-time>

Time the app was created, as a UTC timestamp in ISO 8601 format.

Example:

"2026-08-01T09:15:00"

updated_date

string<date-time>

Time the app document was last written, as a UTC timestamp in ISO 8601 format.

Example:

"2026-08-02T14:30:00"

created_by

string | null

Email of the user who created the app.

Example:

"developer@example.com"

organization_id

string | null

ID of the workspace the app belongs to.

Example:

"67e0b12c4d8a3f005b21c9e4"

app_type

string

default:user_app

Kind of app, set when it's created. One of user_app (a web app), user_agent (an AI agent), mobile_app (a native mobile app), user_game (a game), slide (a presentation), or imported_app (an app imported from an existing code repository). List apps returns it as stored, so an older agent app can report agent instead of user_agent, and some older apps don't include it. Get app always returns one of the values above.

Example:

"user_app"

name

string

default:untitled

Display name of the app.

Example:

"My CRM"

user_description

string | null

Description of the app, or null if none was set. An app created without a name gets a generated description once a build turn changes it.

Example:

"A CRM to track leads and deals"

logo_url

string | null

URL of the app's logo, or null if it has none. Set it with Set app logo or Generate app logo.

Example:

"https://storage.base44.com/6820f3a4e7b91d003c45a1f2/3f2504e0_logo.png"

URL of the image shown when the app is shared on social platforms, or null if none was set, in which case the logo is shown instead. Set it with Set social image.

Example:

"https://storage.base44.com/6820f3a4e7b91d003c45a1f2/7c9e6679_social.png"

public_settings

enum<string>

default:public_with_login

Who can open the published app. Each value is described under Update app, which also changes it.

Available options:

private_with_login,

public_with_login,

public_without_login,

workspace_with_login

Example:

"public_with_login"

auth_config

AuthConfiguration · object

Which login methods the app's login page offers. If the workspace enforces SSO for apps, the login page offers only SSO, whatever these are set to. Change them with Update app.

Show child attributes

hide_entity_created_by

boolean

default:false

Whether the app's entity records leave out the email of the user who created each one (created_by). Newer apps always leave the email out, whatever this is set to.

Example:

true

is_remixable

boolean

default:false

Whether others can remix the app. While it's true, the published app also shows the Base44 badge if public_settings is public_with_login or public_without_login.

Example:

false

main_branch_protected

boolean

default:false

Whether the app's main branch is protected, so changes to main must go through a branch that's merged back. Always true for imported apps. Change it with Set main branch protection.

Example:

false

slug

string | null

URL slug for the app, auto generated from the name and app ID or set to a custom value, or null if the app has no slug yet. The published URL is built from it.

Example:

"my-crm-3c45a1f2"

is_unpublished

boolean

default:false

Whether the app was taken offline with Unpublish app and hasn't been published again since. While it's true, the published URL is offline and last_deployed_at still shows the last publish.

Example:

false

last_deployed_at

string<date-time> | null

Time the app was last published, as a UTC timestamp in ISO 8601 format, or null if it has never been published.

Example:

"2026-08-02T14:30:00"

screenshot_url

string | null

URL of a screenshot of the published app. Captured shortly after each publish, so it can briefly lag or be null right after publishing.

Example:

"https://storage.base44.com/screenshots/6820f3a4e7b91d003c45a1f2.png"

preview_screenshot_url

string | null

URL of a preview screenshot taken before publishing, distinct from screenshot_url, or null if none has been captured.

Example:

"https://storage.base44.com/previews/6820f3a4e7b91d003c45a1f2.png"

owner_id

string | null

ID of the user who owns the app. It starts as the creator and changes when ownership is transferred.

Example:

"6706af53b9c1e2004a37d85f"

status

StatusObject · object

The app's current build status. Poll while a build is in progress to watch it finish. This tracks building, not publishing.

Show child attributes

dev_environment_enabled
