API: How do I change release dates?

[PepiMK]

Again, based on the unfinished documentation, I tried to write code to fix broken release dates.

What am I doing wrong, which endpoint do I need to use to change a resource version?

    protected function update_xenforo_resource_version_date(string $version_id, string $resource_id, int $newdate, string $download_url): mixed
    {
        $aHeaders = ['Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'XF-Api-Key: ' . $this->XenForoAPIKey];
        $aFields = array(
            'resource_id' => $resource_id,
            'resource_version_id' => $version_id,
            'release_date' => $newdate,
            'external_download_url' => $download_url,
        );
        $ch = curl_init();
        /**
         * api/resource-versions/{$resource_id}/ - invalid endpoint, only GET and DELETE allowed
         * api/resources/{$resource_id}/versions/{$version_id}/ - invalid route
         * api/resource-versions/ - creates a new version instead, even though resource_version_id is specified
         * api/resources/{$resource_id}/ - returns resource, does not update version
         */
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $this->XenForoURL . "api/resources/{$resource_id}/");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($aFields));
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $aHeaders);
        $output = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);      
        return json_decode($output);
    }

Thanks for moving it here, though the attempt to do this by an API call is simply my helplessness being unable to do so using the UI.

The API will not allow you to set content dates either. Setting them through either the UI or API would require an add-on.
