The action part of the POST request should take the form:
[
contenttype => [
id => [
action => [field => value]
]
]
]
For example:
[
'pages' => [
3 => ['modify' => ['status' => 'held']],
5 => null,
4 => ['modify' => ['status' => 'draft']],
1 => ['delete' => null],
2 => ['modify' => ['status' => 'published']],
],
'entries' => [
4 => ['modify' => ['status' => 'published']],
1 => null,
5 => ['delete' => null],
2 => null,
3 => ['modify' => ['title' => 'Drop Bear Attacks']],
]
]
