}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.
Send the files as
One of two files failed:
Headers
| Header | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
relay-key | Yes | Your relay 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. |
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. - Moderated posts cannot be changed and return
403with typemoderated. - 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
200and the rest are listed infailed. If every file fails, a one-file request returns that file’s error and a multi-file request returns400with typeupload_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.
