Update Video Asset

This guide provides you the instructions to update a video asset from the Livepeer Studio Dashboard or through the Livepeer API.

DashboardAPI

The Livepeer API allows you to send video files to Livepeer and get them ready for optimized playback. Videos can be provided either by you (static content) or your users, given your application offers an interface for them to do so.

Step 1: Get the asset.id of an existing asset

Get the asset.id of an existing asset. An asset.id can be found in the response object of any API call working with assets. If you haven't created an asset yet, you can follow the upload a video asset guide to do so.

Step 2: Update the asset

Once you have an asset.id, you can make a request to update the asset's name and metadata.

JavaScript

const updateAssetData = await fetch("https://livepeer.studio/api/asset/{id}", {
  method: "PATCH",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.API_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: {
    name: "testing123",
    meta: {
      name: "testing123",
      description: "new video",
    },
  },
});

curl

curl -X PATCH https://livepeer.studio/api/asset/{id} \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-H 'authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN' \
-d {
    "name": "Example name",
    "meta": {
        "name": "testing123",
        "description": "new video"
    }
}
