Can Postman be used to change password on shared links?

I've just discovered Postman. Could I use that to change the password for all my shared links? Would that be easier for a non-programmer? I've seen a couple of tutorial videos that they just show you how to return the content of a folder for example, but not how to change the content. Is this possible? Thanks for any reply.

Sorry this is a new post that has come out of a question on my previous post here

    You can use Postman, but it wouldn't be as seamless. You would have to make an individual call for each password you would want to change.

    If you use the collection and pull up the update shared link endpoint, you can edit the password in the body tab.

    Thanks, Alex, I'll consider this for next year's password change. I have a small team which has already manually changed 2022 password on shared links of all our files; an activity which has taken about 7 hours in total.
