How to update an entity via API?

Content
1

Sorry for the beginner’s nature of this question, I have managed to create an entity via API in the sandbox environment, I have given the entity id 177 in the ‘meta’ section.
https://api-sandbox.yext.com/v2/accounts/me/entities?api_key=079afb52dbfe768e7ea6482d1cd149d4&v=20231213&entityType=healthcareFacility
with body:

{
    "meta": {
        "id": "177"
    },
  "name": "Bozeman MT-Main St-BIO",
  "address": {
    "city": "Madison",
    "region": "CA",
    "postalCode": "08530",
    "countryCode": "US",
    "line1": "Adress line2"
  },
  "hours": {
    "friday": {
      "isClosed": false,
      "openIntervals": [
        {
          "end": "18:00",
          "start": "08:00"
        }
      ]
    },
    "monday": {
      "isClosed": false,
      "openIntervals": [
        {
          "end": "18:00",
          "start": "08:00"
        }
      ]
    },
    "saturday": {
      "isClosed": false,
      "openIntervals": [
        {
          "end": "18:00",
          "start": "08:00"
        }
      ]
    },
    "sunday": {
      "isClosed": false,
      "openIntervals": [
        {
          "end": "18:00",
          "start": "08:00"
        }
      ]
    },
    "thursday": {
      "isClosed": false,
      "openIntervals": [
        {
          "end": "18:00",
          "start": "08:00"
        }
      ]
    },
    "tuesday": {
      "isClosed": false,
      "openIntervals": [
        {
          "end": "18:00",
          "start": "08:00"
        }
      ]
    },
    "wednesday": {
      "isClosed": false,
      "openIntervals": [
        {
          "end": "18:00",
          "start": "08:00"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Now I want to update this entity, but when I execute the following call:
https://api-sandbox.yext.com/v2/accounts/me/entities/177?api_key=079afb52dbfe768e7ea6482d1cd149d4&v=20231213
with this body:

{
  "name": "Bozeman MT-Main St-UPDATED"
}

I always get the following error:
“code”: 46,
“type”: “FATAL_ERROR”,
“message”: “HTTP method not allowed for this resource.”,
“name”: “method_not_allowed”

Somebody could help me please?
