Response Type:

Name Type Description
bold = required
value validation_result A validation result containing missing files or invalid files and the reason why they are invalid.
value.has_errors boolean Whether the validation was succesful or not. In case of errors, the content.library.item.updatesession.file.validation_result.missing_files and content.library.item.updatesession.file.validation_result.invalid_files will contain at least one entry.

value.missing_files string[] A set containing the names of the files that are required but the client hasn't added.

value.invalid_files validation_error[] A array containing the files that have been identified as invalid and details about the error.

value.invalid_files[].name string The name of the file.

value.invalid_files[].error_message localizable_message A message indicating why the file was considered invalid.

value.invalid_files[].error_message.id string Unique identifier of the localizable string or message template.

This identifier is typically used to retrieve a locale-specific string or message template from a message catalog.

value.invalid_files[].error_message.default_message string The value of this localizable string or message template in the en_US (English) locale. If vapi.std.localizable_message.id refers to a message template, the default message will contain the substituted arguments. This value can be used by clients that do not need to display strings and messages in the native language of the user. It could also be used as a fallback if a client is unable to access the appropriate message catalog.

value.invalid_files[].error_message.args string[] Positional arguments to be substituted into the message template. This list will be empty if the message uses named arguments or has no arguments.

Errors:

HTTP Status Code Type Description
404 not_found if no update session with the given identifier exists.
400 not_allowed_in_current_state if the update session is not in the ACTIVE state, or if some of the files that will be uploaded by the client aren't received correctly.
