Media Library Entries

Import Media Library Entries

Description

When you can upload images to the configured Media Library storage (e.g. AWS S3) yourself it is possible to create Media Library Entries through the API.

This has the advantage that the entris will be included in the response directly in contrast to the importImages endpoint where you only get a job id.

You can also provide a custom id to entries which helps with importing documents where images in the document should be referenced with the correct mediaId maybe even before creating the Media Library Entries themselves.

Curl Example

  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' \
  --data-binary @- << EOF 
  {
    "mediaLibraryEntries": []
  }
