Graph ID does not match ID in URI

Error message

Graph ID does not match ID in URI

What it means

Raised (400) by PUT /graphs/{graph_id} when the request body carries a non-null graph.id that differs from the graph_id in the URI. The API treats the path parameter as authoritative; a body/URI mismatch is rejected to prevent accidentally overwriting a different graph.

Solutions

  1. Make the body's id match the URI (or omit graph.id entirely — null is allowed and the URI wins).
  2. In the frontend, key graph-editing state by graph_id so switching graphs resets the payload.
  3. For duplication flows use the dedicated create endpoint instead of PUT with a foreign id.

Example fix

// before
await api.updateGraph(graphId, { ...staleGraph, id: staleGraph.id });

// after
await api.updateGraph(graphId, { ...staleGraph, id: graphId });
// or omit id: await api.updateGraph(graphId, { ...graph, id: null });
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

if (payload.id && payload.id !== routeGraphId) {
  throw new Error(`Body graph id ${payload.id} != URI ${routeGraphId}`);
}
await api.updateGraph(routeGraphId, { ...payload, id: routeGraphId });

Type guard

const idsAgree = (bodyId: string | null | undefined, uriId: string) => !bodyId || bodyId === uriId;

Try / catch

catch (e) { if (e.response?.status === 400 && /does not match/.test(e.response.data.detail)) { resyncGraphStateFromServer(); } else throw e; }

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: PUT /graphs/aaa-... with body {"id": "bbb-...", ...} — typically a frontend bug that saved graph A's draft into state and submitted it against graph B's URL, or a copy-paste of a graph JSON into an update call against another graph's route.

Common situations: Builder UI state desync when switching between graphs quickly; 'duplicate then edit' flows that keep the source graph's id in the payload; API clients templating the URL and body from different sources.
