API

The MetadataType Controller allows you to manage metadata types within the AdmiralCloud platform. Metadata types define structured information models that can be attached to various resources like media, channels, or containers. This controller provides endpoints for creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting metadata types, as well as managing their properties and validation rules. Proper metadata type configuration is essential for maintaining data consistency across your AdmiralCloud implementation.

Reference

Find metadataType

Retrieves a list of metadata types based on specified criteria. This endpoint supports filtering by various attributes such as name, container, or status. Use this endpoint when you need to discover available metadata types or check which types are applicable to specific resources.

/v5/metadatatype

{
    "body": [
        {
            "id": 1,
            "type": "video",
            "subtype": "animation",
            "settings": {
                "label": {
                    "de": "Animation",
                    "en": "Animation"
                }
            },
            "customerId": 1,
            "creatorId": 123,
            "lastEditorId": 123
        }
    ]
}

Create metadataType

Creates a new metadata type definition in the AdmiralCloud platform. Metadata types allow you to define structured information models that can be attached to resources. When creating a metadata type, you must specify its name, container type (where it can be used), and the properties that define its structure.

Destroy metadataType

Permanently removes a metadata type from the system. Use this endpoint with caution as deleting a metadata type will also delete all metadata entries of this type across all resources. This operation cannot be undone. Before deletion, verify that the metadata type is no longer needed for any operational or archival purposes.
