Chatous Update Profile API
Update your Chatous profile: display name, age (18 or older), about text, gender, interest tags and avatar. Takes your connect.sid session cookie. Chatous replaces the whole profile on every write, so any field you omit is cleared. Checks the session first and fails with AUTH_EXPIRED when Chatous no longer accepts it. Returns the list of fields sent.

How to call it
Send one POST to api.upapi.io/chatous-update-profile.post with your key in the X-Api-Key header and the parameters below as a JSON body. Each call spends 1 weighted unit of your monthly quota. The operation times out after 30 seconds. Responses are not cached; every call runs the operation.

Chatous Update Profile API reference
Request parameters
- age
- integer — Age to publish. Chatous FLOORS this at 18 without saying so, so anything lower is refused here rather than silently changed upstream.
- about
- string — Profile blurb.
- gender
- string — Gender string, sent verbatim.
- proxyUrl
- string — Optional proxy URL.
- avatarIcon
- integer — Chatous avatar icon index.
- connectSid
- stringrequired — The account's connect.sid cookie value.
- screenname
- string — Display name.
- avatarColor
- integer — Chatous avatar colour index.
- profileTags
- array — Interest tags. Sent as a JSON array, as the site expects.
Response fields
- elapsedMs
- integerrequired
- updatedAt
- stringrequired
- ageFloored
- booleanrequired — Always false: an age below 18 is refused before the request is sent.
- updatedFields
- arrayrequired — The form fields actually sent, in sent order.
