Quotes within a formula for API PUT/POST
How is the data supposed to be formatted when a formula has quotes within it such as =IF(X=1,"One,"") ? I am getting just slashes in place of the quotes when I export a formula using the API, but when I use the same syntax to add/update a column with a formula it doesn't parse correctly. I tried /" and double-quotes. Nothing seems to be working. Any ideas?

It will depend on what you are using to generate the request body but in general a backslash is the escape character for json not forward slash so \" may work for you.

I may have mistyped. This is what is imported: =IF(ColLocked@row = 1, \One\, \\) so when I am doing the update, I am using the exact same string and it doesn't seem to work like that or \". Any ideas?

Based on what you've written I would expect the correct format to be =IF(X=1,\"One\",\"\") but it's hard to say without seeing the whole request that you're trying to submit.
