Upload asset to DAM

How to upload asset using Management API

Creating a new asset is a multi-step process. The asset will not be available in the DAM until all operations are completed.

  1. Create a new empty asset
  2. Upload the file to AWS S3
  3. Add metadata to the asset
  4. Complete the asset

Upload the file to AWS S3

The file upload is done directly to S3 using a presigned URL.

URL

Use the actionUrl (https://webon-test-media-bank.s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/) from the previous response to do a POST request to AWS S3.

Request headers

The Content-Type header of the request should be multipart/form-data.

Request body

The rest of the parameters from the previous response should be added as form data.

Add a file parameter containing the upload file.
