Update task

PUT 
/v2/actor-tasks/:actorTaskId

Update settings of a task using values specified by an object passed as JSON in the POST payload.

If the object does not define a specific property, its value is not updated.

The response is the full task object as returned by the Get task endpoint.

The request needs to specify the Content-Type: application/json HTTP header!

When providing your API authentication token, we recommend using the request's Authorization header, rather than the URL. (More info).
