Hello, I’m implementing a client for the OSM api.

If you don’t get a reply with specific examples, other places you mgiht consider searching / asking are :
o the dev mailing list https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
o the help site http://help.openstreetmap.org
o #osm-dev on IRC (see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/IRC )
The fact that you can do a GET and not a PUT I suspect means that you’re not authorized (anyone can do a GET, regardless of logged-in status).
I’d also prepare yourself for lots of people asking about programmatic access to the API, since there’s a general nervousness about wide-ranging changes to OSM data (e.g. imports). I’m not implying that you’re doing anything “bad” here; just suggesting that you might need to explain that you’re not
