In RestApi, We can update the record dynamically by passing the json data into update query:

class UpdateUserDetails(Resource):
@auth_token_required
def post(self):
    json_data = request.get_json()
    user_id = current_user.id
    try:
        userdata = User.query.filter(User.id==user_id).update(dict(json_data))
        db.session.commit()
        msg={"msg":"User details updated successfully"}
        code=200
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
        msg = {"msg": "Failed to update the userdetails! please contact your administartor."}
        code=500
    return msg
