Account Edit Request – Profile Updates via API
Request profile edits on delivered TokPortal accounts. Update username, display name, biography, and profile picture via API.
Account Edit Request
Request a profile edit on a delivered (saved) account. The assigned account manager will update the username, display name, biography, and/or profile picture as specified.
Cost: 8 credits per edit request.
Create Edit Request
POST /accounts/:id/edit-request
Submit a request to change one or more profile fields on a delivered account. TokPortal first uses the account's current eligible manager, then its still-active manager relationship, then eligible non-cancelled order history. A completed bundle remains eligible without a delivery-age limit. Cancelled orders are never restored.
Prerequisites
- The account must have active TokPortal Coverage or be permanently grandfathered
- If an active order exists, its manager is authoritative and must still be an active Account Manager
- TokPortal walks completed orders newest-first and assigns the first historical manager who is still active
- The request appears directly in that manager's Calendar.
Accept & startacknowledges the assigned work; it is not a marketplace claim - Cancelled orders are never used as fallback
- No other edit request can be in progress for the same account
- You need at least 8 credits in your balance
Coverage validation, manager assignment, the 8-credit debit, and task creation commit atomically. A failed prerequisite never creates a task or debit. If Coverage later pauses or lapses, the request is withheld from the manager queue and is not treated as late; reactivation restores it through the account-level resume flow.
Request Body
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
requested_username | string | Yes | New username (1–24 characters) |
requested_visible_name | string | Yes | New display name (1–30 characters) |
requested_biography | string | No | New biography (max 150 characters on Instagram, 80 on other platforms; over the limit returns INVALID_FIELD) |
requested_profile_picture_url | string | No | URL of the new profile picture |
requested_link_in_bio | string | No | Link in bio (Instagram only, must be a valid URL) |
Username and visible name alone are not treated as a change: the request must also carry at least one of requested_biography, requested_profile_picture_url, or requested_link_in_bio.
