Update avatar

Upload a user avatar image for an account.

The image will be normalized to 512x512 PNG format and stored separately from automatically discovered logos. User-uploaded avatars take precedence over enriched avatars at read time.

This endpoint only accepts accountID values for the uniqueID parameter.

To access this endpoint using an access token you'll need to specify the /accounts.write scope.

PUT
/avatars/{uniqueID}
curl -X PUT "https://api.moov.io/avatars/{uniqueID}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {token}" \
  -H "X-Moov-Version: v2026.07.00" \
  -F "file=@/path/to/file"
mc, _ := moov.NewClient()

var accountID string
image, _ := os.Open("/path/to/image.png")
