Update a Translation Memory Unit using the tmTranslation ID

Question

Hi all, 
 Please let me know if I should direct this question to a different forum but wanted to start my check here. 
 
 Is there any POST endpoint on the REST API for worldserver to update a Translation Memory entry if you only have its ID? 
 
 For example we execute the search: 
 https://WSurl/ws-api/v2 /tms/search?query=text eq 'Hello' and source eq 'English (United States)' and target eq 'Japanese' and tm eq 'TM - Name'&token=<token> 
 and get back: 
 
 "items" : [ 
 { 
 "score" : 1.0 , 
 "lookup" : { 
 "locale" : "en_US_English (United States)" , 
 "string" : "Hello" , 
 "immutable" : false , 
 "normalizedString" : "|Hello|" 
 }, 
 "tmTranslation" : { 
 "id" : 13445687 , 
 "source" : { 
 "locale" : "en_US_English (United States)" , 
 "string" : "Hello" , 
 "immutable" : false , 
 "normalizedString" : "|Hello|" 
 }, 
 "target" : { 
 "locale" : "ja_JP_Japanese" , 
 "string" : "こんばんは" , 
 "immutable" : false , 
 "normalizedString" : "|こ|ん|ば|ん|は|" 
 } 
 } 
 }], 
 Total: 1} 
 
 and we want to now update the translation for ID "13445687" from こんばんは　to こんにちは -- I wanted to see if there was any API endpoint to do so as the only update command I've been able to find is the one for updating a segment with a tag number. 
 
 Thanks for any help!

Hi Joseph, 
 There is a SOAP API for TM updates that might help you. You can use the wsdl pages from [protocol]://[ws_domain]/ws-legacy/services to see the available SOAP calls. You will need to use WSContext for authorization and TmWSTmEntry for TM updates. You can use a tool like SoapUI to check the SOAP calls, the list of parameters and to understand if you have everything you need in the excel import file. 
 SOAP calls are less friendly and more difficult to use than RESTfull calls, but using them might help you implement the TM automatic import you need. 
 I hope this information helps you. 
 
 Thank you, Anca
