# Update items in watchlist

> **Rate limit:** 20 requests per 60 seconds. This is a **shared quota** — the same budget is consumed by a group of related endpoints, so calling any of them reduces what is left for the others (you cannot call each at the full rate independently). Endpoints sharing this quota:
- `DELETE /api/v1/watchlists/{watchlistId}`
- `DELETE /api/v1/watchlists/{watchlistId}/items`
- `POST /api/v1/watchlists`
- `POST /api/v1/watchlists/default-watchlist/selected-items`
- `POST /api/v1/watchlists/newasdefault-watchlist`
- `POST /api/v1/watchlists/{watchlistId}/items`
- `PUT /api/v1/watchlists/rank/{watchlistId}`
- `PUT /api/v1/watchlists/setUserSelectedUserDefault/{watchlistId}`
- `PUT /api/v1/watchlists/{watchlistId}`

    please refer to the dedicated [WebSocket
    documentation](./websocket/websocket-doc.html).


    ## Authentication


    Every request must be authenticated with exactly one of two options: an
    OAuth 2.0 access token (`Authorization: Bearer <token>`), or the
    non-interactive credential pair (`x-api-key` + `x-user-key` headers). The
    two options are mutually exclusive — a request carrying both is rejected.
    Each operation lists the OAuth scopes that grant access as alternative
    security requirements: a bearer token needs only ONE of them, and the same
    permissions govern the credential pair.
