The ioGates Files API

Create and retrieve multiple files in one go, offering a streamlined process for bulk file management with support for custom attributes and metadata.

Create Files

Method: Post

Request Headers

Authorisation: A Bearer token is required, which is obtained from the auth token API.

Example:

Request Body

{ files: [
   {
      name: "My Title",// title
      type: "movie", // movie, audio, image, other
      attributes: [
         { name: "My Attribute", value: "Some Value"}
      ]
   },
   {
      name: "My Title 2",// title
      type: "movie", // movie, audio, image, other
      attributes: [
         { name: "My Attribute", value: "Some Value"}
      ]
   }
]}

• Upload filename is the name that should be used for uploading. This will trigger the logic to added the file to the create virtual file rather than as a new file.
• Attributes are the meta tags, shown in ioGates MetaData menu and on shares.
