Update media data through rest api

Hi,

Is it possible to update media data through the api? Need to update a large batch of items, but while it the media dc gets update it doesn’t update the supplied data itself.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi @joseph_anderson ,

I’m not sure I understand exactly what you’re asking.

Are you saying the dc metadata fields are being added, but the values aren’t being updated?

Or are you saying the metadata is being updated, but the files are not?

I’m sorry, for instance, if you have a IIIF media, the IIIF data gets stored in the data field. When updating that media through the api, I can edit any of the dc metadata, but not that data field where the IIIF data is stored.

I think I figured it out, the particular ingester itself needs to have an update function that would handle that media data itself.
