How to Update General Information

Updated on 05 August, 2026

Update a Vultr Marketplace app's general information using the Vultr Console or Vultr API, including its name, summary, readme, categories, and website links.

General information covers the categories and Readme that describe your application on its Marketplace listing.

This guide explains how to update this general information using the Vultr Console or the Vultr API.

  • Vultr Console
  • Vultr API

  1. Click Marketplace in the Vultr Console's left-hand menu.

  2. Click the application name to open the General Information tab of the Edit App screen.

  3. Under Categories, check the boxes for every category that applies to your app.

  4. If you didn't enter a Readme when you created the profile, add it here. See our Markdown formatting tips for the Readme and App Instructions.

  5. Click the Update App button at the bottom of the screen. The button only activates after you've made a change.

Send a PATCH request to the Update Marketplace App endpoint to set the Readme and categories. Replace {app-id} with the app's ID and CATEGORY-ID with a category ID from How to List Marketplace App Categories. An app can have up to 7 categories.

console 
$ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/marketplace/apps/{app-id}" \
    -X PATCH \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "readme": "README-MARKDOWN",
        "categories": [CATEGORY-ID]
    }'

The response contains the updated app object.
