Possible to change video status via API?

[tylermyeo]

I’m building an automation that syncs a status in Notion with the video status in Frame via Make. But I can’t seem to get it to work.

Settings I’m using:

Method: PATCH

Endpoint: https://api.frame.io/v4/accounts/{account_id}/files/{file_id}

Headers:

1. Authorization: Bearer {access_token}
2. Content-Type: application/json
3. api-version: experimental (tried without this as well)

Body type: Raw

Content type: JSON (application/json)

Request content:
{
“data”: {
“status”: “{{2.frameStatus}}”
}
}

Screenshot showing the Frame status field I’m trying to update:

And here’s the error from Make:
Error: 422 Unprocessable Entity

{“errors”:[{“title”:“Invalid value”,“source”:{“pointer”:“/data/status”},“detail”:“Unexpected field: status”}]}

I couldn’t find anything useful on the dev docs or forums. Any help would be great

you need to use the id of the status field, not the string.

So in the example below you would use bd7806b2-cd41-4105-9d2c-7e5a58cf2b62 and not Needs Review

Also since this is using the experimental version of the API for updating metadata at this time, be sure to add api-version:experimental to your header request

Great, thanks!

Could you clarify what the body should contain?

So far I tried:

{
“data”: {
“status”: “{{status_id}}”
}
}

and

{
  "data": {
    "metadata": {
      "file_attributes": [
        {
          "field_definition_id": "<field_definition_id>",
          "value": [
            { "id": "{{status_id}}" }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

They both give me the following error:

Error: 422 Unprocessable Entity
{"errors":[{"title":"Invalid value","source":{"pointer":"/data/metadata"},"detail":"Unexpected field: metadata"}]}

@tylermyeo you’re close.

Your payload would be:

{
  "data": {
    "asset_ids": ["your-asset-id"],
    "values": [
      {
        "field_definition_id": "your-status-field-id",
        "value": ["status-uuid"]
      }
    ]
  }
}

I just tested this myself and confirmed this works. Here was my example cURL command if you want to reference

curl -X PATCH "https://api.frame.io/v4/accounts/ACCOUNT_ID/projects/PROJECT_ID/metadata/values" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "api-version: experimental" \
  -d '{
    "data": {
      "asset_ids": [
        "YOUR_ASSET_ID"
      ],
      "values": [
        {
          "field_definition_id": "FIELD_DEFINITION_ID",
          "value": ["STATUS_UUID"]
        }
      ]
    }
  }'

Thanks!

That payload gives me a 403 error in Make (also tried in Postman with the same settings):

Error: 403 Forbidden
{"errors":[{"detail":"Forbidden"}]}

Any idea what could be causing this?

[CharlieAnderson]

hmm not sure, I just tried again via Postman and didn’t have any issue.

Are you just using the PATCH {{BASE_URL}}/v4/accounts/:account_id/projects/:project_id/metadata/values endpoint?
