Discrepancy between discover_api.json and content.py in routes

[dsikka]

The file discover_api.json contains three possible actions: create, update, and get. Is there an example of how the update API call can be made for a client or sample data? Also, the content.py includes additional actions, such as delete. Is this endpoint still available? If yes, what as an example of of using this action? If not, how does one delete a client and any of their associated information?

There seems to be a problem when trying to update existing samples.
Here is an example of the what I am trying to do:

A sample is first created using the following:

url = top_level_url + '/@@API/v3/create'
data = {
"BODY":
    '[{ \
        "portal_type": "Sample", \
        "SampleID": "id1000614", \
        "title": "def007001", \
        "SampleType": "Urine", \
        "Barcode": "bar00609", \
        "StorageLocation": "Room-1.Box-01.2", \
        "Volume": "20.00", \
        "Unit": "ml", \
        "parent_path": "clients/client-1/project-1" \
    }]'
}

request = requests.post(url, data=data, auth=auth)

The uid from request is extracted and the sample is updated using the following code:

uid = json.loads(request.content)['items'][0]['uid']
url = top_level_url + '/@@API/v3/update/' + uid
data = {"BODY":
            '[{"portal_type": "Sample", '
            '"SampleType": "Urine", '
            '"StorageLocation": "Room-1.Box-01.2", '
            '"Volume": "45.00", '
            '"Unit": "ml"}]'
        }
request = requests.post(url, data=data, auth=auth)

However, the response returns an error, indicating that a SampleType was not given in the payload when updating the sample. However, as you can see, it was defined as Urine.

This is the error:
b'{"_runtime": 0.008398056030273438, "message": "{\\"SampleType\\": \\"Sample Type is required, please correct.\\"}", "success": false}'

What is being done incorrectly here?
