Edit events via the python API

Support
#1

Hi there,
I wrote a python script to delete entries with sensitive data, but I am trying to make another one that edits the event/data/title field.
I can’t find a function in the API reference that does that, even though the web UI offers a functionality to edit the App and Title of any entry.
Is there a way to do that programmatically?

thank you

Hi, you need use insert_event method with the events unique id. This will replace the event. So you need to fetch the events, store it in a list. Iterate through the list inserting the events back to activitywatch with the redacted data.
