Add one or more files to an existing post. The share code, privacy, title and description stay the same. Adding a file to a single-file post turns it into an album.

Headers

Header	Required	Description
`api-key`	Yes	Your API key, or the team’s access key for a team post
`include-metadata`	No	`true` keeps file metadata. Omitted or `false` strips it.
`priority`	No	`false` opts the new videos out of priority (adaptive) streaming.

Send the files as multipart/form-data, repeating the file field.

Behavior

You must own the post. A team post needs that team’s access key, and a lapsed team returns 403.
Requires gallery access on the key.
Moderated posts cannot be changed and return 403 with type moderated.
A post holds at most 50 files. A full post, or a request that would go past 50, returns 400.
New files take the post’s privacy. On a private post their URLs are signed and expire after 24 hours.
Videos are remuxed to MP4 and metadata is stripped exactly as in Upload Files. Videos added here do not get a thumbnail.
Each file is checked against your weekly quota on its own. A file that does not fit fails with type quota_exceeded.
Failures work like uploads: stored files come back with 200 and the rest are listed in failed. If every file fails, a one-file request returns that file’s error and a multi-file request returns 400 with type upload_failed. See Errors.
New files are scanned automatically. If any file, or the post’s text, is flagged, the whole post is moderated.
The response is the full updated post.

Examples

curl -X POST "https://api.snipp.gg/posts/AlBm5678/files" \
  -H "api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -F "file=@photo3.png"
