Method: updateAssociatedAccount

Requests an update to an associated user account.

This method requires that a complete snapshot of the associated account information be provided, along with an update sequence timestamp. The update sequence timestamp is used to determine the most recent update. Updates with an update sequence timestamp older than the current Google record are dropped.

The update sequence timestamp should reflect the time the state of the account was read in milliseconds. The update sequence timestamp must be within +/- 1 min of the Google server time when the request is received, or the request will be rejected with response code 401.

Failed requests may be retried until a 401 response code is received. If a 401 response code is received, the client should refresh the updateSequenceTimestamp prior to retrying the request.

If the endpoint encounters an error while processing the request, the response from this endpoint will be of type ErrorResponse.

Responses to this query may be empty if this method does not return an HTTP 200. The response body is empty in situations where an ErrorResponse with a clear description could be used to help an attacker understand the payment integrator account identifier of other integrators. In these situations, where either the signing key doesn't match, the payment integrator identifier was not found, or the encryption key was unknown, this method will return an HTTP 404 with an empty body. If the request signature could be verified, additional information regarding the error will be returned in the response body.

An example request looks like:
