Does the Datadog API support a "partial" update? - ruby

Question

I'm looking for a way to do a "partial" update on an existing screenboard/timeboard. By "partial", I mean adding some widget to the existing screenboard/timeboard without wiping out the existing widget that already exist.
Consider the following example:
Create screenboard:
require 'dogapi'
api_key = "..."
application_key = "..."
board = {
"width" => 1024,
"height" => 768,
"board_title" => "bjusufbe dogapi test",
"widgets" => [
{
"type" => "image",
"height" => 20,
"width" => 32,
"y" => 7,
"x" => 32,
"url" => "https://path/to/create_image.jpg"
}
]
}
dog = Dogapi::Client.new(api_key, application_key)
result = dog.create_screenboard(board)
Update screenboard:
require 'dogapi'
api_key = "..."
application_key = "..."
board_id = "..."
board = {
"width" => 1024,
"height" => 768,
"board_title" => "bjusufbe dogapi test",
"widgets" => [
{
"type" => "image",
"height" => 20,
"width" => 32,
"y" => 7,
"x" => 32,
"url" => "https://path/to/update_image.jpg"
}
]
}
dog = Dogapi::Client.new(api_key, application_key)
result = dog.update_screenboard(board_id, board)
When I run the create and then the update example, the update_image widget will overwrite the create_image widget and that is the problem I'm trying to avoid.
