Update an existing upload’s title, description, or privacy level.

Behavior

  • You must own the upload to edit it.
  • At least one of title, description, or post-privacy must be provided.
  • Send title or description as multipart form fields. This is required for non-ASCII values such as emoji or accented characters, which cannot be carried in HTTP headers. The title and description headers still work for plain ASCII values but are discouraged.
  • Send an empty string for title or description to clear the field.
  • title is truncated to 30 characters, description to 200 characters.
  • A newly added @username in the description sends that user a mention notification. Mentions already present before the edit are not re-notified.
  • A restricted post cannot be made public. Setting post-privacy to public on a restricted post returns 403. You can still switch it between private and unlisted.
