This endpoint allows you to update specific parameters of an existing media file. You can modify the key-value pairs of the metadata that were provided in the payload during the creation of media from a URL or when uploading the media as a file object.
How it works
-
Make a PATCH request to the /media/
<mediaId>endpoint, replacing<mediaId>with the uploadId or the id of the media you want to update. -
Include the updated parameters in the request body.
-
Receive a response containing the updated media data, confirming the changes made.
Once you have made the update request, you can also look for the webhook event video.media.updated to notify your system about update status.
Use case: Imagine a scenario where a user uploads a video and later realizes they need to change the title, add a new description or tags. You can use this endpoint to update the media metadata without having to re-upload the entire video.
