Update Playlist Items

playlists.tracks.update(strplaylist_id, TrackUpdateParams**kwargs) -> TrackUpdateResponse
PUT/playlists/{playlist_id}/tracks

Either reorder or replace items in a playlist depending on the request's parameters. To reorder items, include range_start, insert_before, range_length and snapshot_id in the request's body. To replace items, include uris as either a query parameter or in the request's body. Replacing items in a playlist will overwrite its existing items. This operation can be used for replacing or clearing items in a playlist.
Note: Replace and reorder are mutually exclusive operations which share the same endpoint, but have different parameters. These operations can't be applied together in a single request.
