9100: Create media

Add a media file to the dialogportal™ Media Archive.

The Media Archive provides a public repository for media files. Currently the allowed file type are:

File type	contentType

File type	contentType
Image	`image/gif`, `image/jpeg` etc.
Video	`application/octet-stream`
PDF	`application/pdf`
Javascript	`text/javascript`, `application/x-javascript` or `text/plain` with `.js` fileName
Stylesheet	`text/css` or `text/plain` with `.css` fileName
Font	`application/x-font-ttf`, `application/x-font-woff`, `application/vnd.ms-fontobject`
Icon	`image/x-icon`, `image/vnd.microsoft.icon`
HTC	`text/x-component` or `text/plain` with `.htc` fileName

Media in the archive is contained in a folder structure, and file and folder names are unique within their respective folders.

When attempting to create a media file with a name that already exists in the folder, the autoName field is used to determine the correct action. When autoName is omitted or set to false, a 303 response will be returned including a location header containing the URL to the existing media file. When autoName is true, the file will be created with an auto-incremented "index" appended to the file name, "file_1.txt", "file_2.txt" etc.

To add new folders simply include them in your folderPath. Folders that do not already exist will be created.

Endpoint ID:

9100

Method:

URL:

/content/media

Request body:

JSON data with information about the media to be created.

Required fields:
	content	The content, formatted as a base64 encoded text string.
	contentType	The content mime-type, i.e. "image/gif" or "text/plain".
	fileName	A file name or title for the media item.
Optional fields:
	folderPath	A folder path to the media file. This path is not the entire URL (which also contains the customer name, fileName etc.) but simply a `"/"`-delimited string of folder names.
	description	A description that will be displayed in dialogportal™
	autoName	A boolean value indicating that `fileName` should be renamed if a media file already exists with the same name. `fileName` will be renamed with a trailing "_{index}" (before the file extension, if it exists). The index will be the next valid index, starting from "_1", so multiple files named "file.txt" will be created as "file.txt", "file_1.txt", "file_2.txt" etc. The default value is `false`.

Example: Create a single pixel image

 {
   "content": "R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==",
   "contentType": "image/gif",
   "fileName": "clear 1x1.gif",
   "folderPath": "Assets/Generic Images/Small",
   "autoName" : true
}

Response body:

A JSON object containing the url to the newly created content.

Example

{
  "url": "https://media.dialogportal.com/customer_name/assets/generic_images/small/clear_1x1.gif"
}

The URL format is:

Base URL	`https://media.dialogportal.com/`
Customer name	`customer_name/`
Folder path	`assets/generic_images/small/`
File name	`clear_1x1.gif`

The fileName and folderPath have been sanitized, making them safe to use in a URL.

Status codes:

A media file with this name already exists in the folder.

The response includes a location header containing the URL to the existing media file.
