upsert throws error when I pass Id as externalIdFieldName in Beatbox API while contacting Salesforce

I'm using beatbox API to update/insert data in to salesforce opportunity object.

upsert() throws INVALID FIELD error when I pass Id as externalIDFieldName. Currently I'm using another unique external Id and it's working fine but I want to use the salesforce Id.

Please shed some light on what I'm missing.

You can specify "Id" as an external key.

see REST upsert documentation

If you need to upsert based on Id, use SOAP API.

If you already know the salesforce Id of the record, just call update instead.
