How to create & update email using REST API – Salesforce Marketing Cloud?

I want to create as well as update an email using REST API.

I am using following documentation links:

POST /asset/v1/content/assets
PUT /asset/v1/content/assets/{id}

(https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.noversion.mc-apis.meta/mc-apis/routes.htm)

I am able to retrieve content using GET API call (GET /asset/v1/content/assets).

However, I am not sure where to put the updated HTML code in my PUT or POST API request. Do I have to put it in URL or I have to put it in BODY of the API request? If BODY, then what would be the structure of the BODY? How my JSON would look like?

Method 1

An example provided in the docs for adding content is below:

{
  "name": "NTO Welcome Series Email",
  "channels": {
    "email": true,
    "web": false
  },
  "views": {
    "html": {
      "content": "<!DOCTYPE html><body>This is a simple message.</body></html>"
    },
    "text": {},
    "subjectline": {},
    "preheader": {}
  },
  "assetType": {
    "name": "templatebasedemail",
    "id": 207
   }
}

You would set your new/updated html into the ‘content’ (views > html > content) section of the above JSON.

You can also view more samples here – including HTML Paste, Simple Template based and Complex template based emails.

Method 2

I used Apex to update the content of a Html Email Template (AssetId = 208): on the code i have to use this header ‘request.setHeader(‘X-HTTP-Method-Override’,’PATCH’)’ and made a POST action on the request to get success, and the json example is the following:

{  
   "views":{  
      "html":{  
         "content":"Here goes the html code of the template"
      }
   },
   "assetType":{  
      "name":"htmlemail",
      "id":208
   }
}

the url to call is the one that you mention:
../asset/v1/content/assets/{id}
