Media

The brand's media library.

These endpoints ignore X-Postlyra-Brand

Media reads your currently-selected brand, not the header. Call PATCH /me/team first to target a specific brand. See Choosing a brand.

Limit	Value
Max file size	10 MB
Total storage	Your plan's storage_limit, in GB

Exceeding your storage allowance returns 422:

{ "message": "Storage limit reached. Free up space or upgrade your plan to upload more." }

DELETE /media/{id}

{ "message": "Deleted." }

The URLs are public

Media is world-readable

Media is served from a public CDN bucket. Anyone with the URL can fetch a file, with no authentication, and ids are sequential.

This is not a misconfiguration. Instagram and the other Graph APIs will only accept media as a public HTTPS URL, so the file has to be reachable for publishing to work at all.

Never upload anything you would not publish.

Video

Video does not go through these endpoints. Video assets upload directly from the browser to storage in parts, then get probed and validated against each platform's requirements. That flow lives in the draft composer in Studio. See Video uploads.
