**Summary**  
i can’t create or update cards properties like Status and comment using api

**Steps to reproduce**  
How can we reproduce the issue (what version are you using?)

even though am able to create boards and cards using api also card title and icon but  
i have been trying with different endpoints but even though sometimes am getting card updated but no change in the ui, and sometimes html body response which means wrong end point api

**Observed behavior**

Thanks fixed it my self the problem with the whole documentation is in the endpoint url

eg for blocks

[http://localhost:8000/plugins/focalboard/api/v2/boards/{BOARD\_ID}/blocks](http://localhost:8000/plugins/focalboard/api/v2/boards/%7BBOARD_ID%7D/blocks)

for cards

[http://localhost:8000/plugins/focalboard/api/v2/cards/{CARD\_ID}](http://localhost:8000/plugins/focalboard/api/v2/cards/%7BCARD_ID%7D)
