Media Uploads

Upload images, videos, and other media to include in your posts.

Overview

RelayAPI supports media uploads through pre-signed URLs. Upload media first, then reference it in your posts.

Upload Flow

1. Request a pre-signed upload URL via POST /v1/media/upload
2. Upload your file directly to the pre-signed URL
3. Reference the media ID in your post's content

# Step 1: Get upload URL
curl -X POST https://api.relayapi.dev/v1/media/upload \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer rlay_live_your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"filename": "photo.jpg", "mime_type": "image/jpeg", "size": 1048576}'

# Step 2: Upload to the pre-signed URL
curl -X PUT "https://media.relayapi.com/upload/..." \
  -H "Content-Type: image/jpeg" \
  --data-binary @photo.jpg

Supported Formats

Platform-Specific Limits

Each platform has its own media requirements. RelayAPI automatically validates and, where possible, converts media to meet platform specifications. See individual platform pages for details.
