# Update an InfluxDB scraper

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. [InfluxDB 3 Core](/influxdb3/core/) is the latest stable version.

#### API token hashing is enabled by default in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0

Stronger token security: tokens are stored as hashes on disk, so a copy of the database file doesn’t expose usable tokens. Existing tokens are hashed on first startup and the original strings can’t be recovered afterward — **capture any plaintext tokens you still need before you upgrade**.

For more information, see [Token hashing](/influxdb/v2/admin/tokens/#token-hashing).

Update a scraper in the InfluxDB user interface (UI).

Scraper **Target URLs** and **Buckets** cannot be updated. To modify either, [create a new scraper](/influxdb/v2/write-data/no-code/scrape-data/manage-scrapers/create-a-scraper).
