Toolset media, 8 tools.
Records
media_file
A photo, video, logo, PDF or downloadable file in the store's media library. Each file carries its id and its ref (media://<id>): a setting, email or product takes the file by that ref or id, never by an address. alt is the alt text per store language. Get adds every place that uses the file.

}media_update
Rename a file, set its tags or focal point, or save alt text the merchant dictated.
Alt text is per store language code (hu-HU, en-US, ...) and is saved exactly as given; an empty text removes that language. Alt text you would compose yourself is written by the write_alt_text copy tool instead. focal is 0..1 from the left and from the top, null puts it back to the centre. Every place that shows the file follows the change.
- Action key:
media.update - Permission:
media.write - Approval: Waits for approval when the store requires it for this action.
- Effect: Changes the live store.
- Retries: safe to repeat with the same input.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id | string | yes | Media library file ID. 1 to 128 characters |
name | string | 1 to 255 characters | |
alt | map of string | Alt text by store language code, exactly as the merchant gave it | |
tags | list of string | Replaces the tags. at most 30 items. at least 1 characters | |
focal | object or null | ||
focal.x | number | yes | 0 to 1 |
focal.y | number | yes | 0 to 1 |
poster_item_id | string or null | Videos only: a ready library image to show before play, or null for none |

}
}media_upload
Add a picture, PDF or downloadable file to the media library, from a file on the merchant's computer or from a public web address.
Two ways in, both end in a library file with its id and ref. For a file the merchant has on their computer, pass name, content_type and size (the exact number of bytes): the answer holds a one-time upload address and the exact curl command to run in a terminal on that computer, with <path to the file> replaced by the real path; the command prints the library file. For a public web address the merchant gave, pass url: the store downloads it itself. Never look pictures up or download them from the web yourself. Both apply the same checks as an upload (up to 20 MB; images, SVG logos, PDFs and downloadable files). A file the library already holds is answered instead of a copy. Attach the file to a product with product_gallery_update.
- Action key:
media.upload - Permission:
media.write - Approval: Waits for approval when the store requires it for this action.
- Effect: Changes the live store.
- Retries: runs at most once; a repeat with the same idempotency key returns the first result.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
url | string | The http or https address the merchant gave. 1 to 2048 characters | |
name | string | File name with its extension; for a file from the computer the name of the file, for an address only when it does not end in one. 1 to 255 characters | |
content_type | string | A file from the computer: its media type, for example image/png. one of "image/jpeg", "image/png", "image/webp", "image/gif", "image/avif", "image/svg+xml", "video/mp4", "video/webm", "application/pdf", "application/octet-stream" | |
size | integer | A file from the computer: its exact size in bytes. above 0. at most 20971520 |

{
"name": "apple.png",
"content_type": "image/png",
"size": 48213
