update_content

I am trying to modify a .txt file's content using update_content method .

while doing this I get this error:

{"error_summary": "invalid_access_token/..", "error": {".tag": "invalid_access_token"}}

I think this is due to my parameter "actor_tokens" and I don't know how should I retrieve this token. Does anybody know where should I find it?

Thanks

A ".txt" file wouldn't be considered a cloud doc, so you should just use the normal file endpoints to interact with it. For example, to upload a new version, you should use /2/files/upload:

Thank you for your soloution

but the problem is that I need to just UPDATE a file, it doesn't matter what's it extention for me.

Do you have any other soloutions?

Yes, you should use /2/files/upload to update a file. That will work for .txt as well as other extensions.
