# Create or update repository with API, disable Strict Content Type Validation

## post by pogacnik on Apr 25, 2023

Hello, I would like to change some repository settings with scripts.

By default there are some settings which I would like to edit, for example: “Strict Content Type Validation” is enabled, “Maximum component age”, “Maximum metadata age”,…

Currently I am using this scripts to create repository:

```bash
curl -u admin:pass -X POST --header ‘Content-Type: application/json’ -d @/tmp/addRepos.json http://127.0.0.1:8081/service/rest/v1/script

curl -u admin:pass -X POST --header ‘Content-Type: text/plain’ http://127.0.0.1:8081/service/rest/v1/script/addRepos/run

cat /tmp/addRepos.json

{
  “name”: “addRepos”,
  “content”: " repository.createRawProxy(‘raw-proxy’, ‘ https://nexus/repository/raw-proxy/’);",
  “type”: “groovy”
}
```

“repository.createRawProxy” Does not support adding other parameters like “strictContentTypeValidation=false” or “contentMaxAge=1440.0, metadataMaxAge=1440.0”.

Is there some other way to add repo and specify those parameters or additionally change them?

My solution is to create repo and then update it with API scripts.
