UpdateXML

The updateXML is a XML object that refers to what should be updated (i.e. metadata, configuration, security etc.) and which fields. An example looks like this:

...

  • The Id refers to what xml container should be used to (i.e. see <asset> tag in updateXML example)
  • The FieldId is the same as ID. It is there for backwards compatibility
  • ContainerType defines the type of the values
  • RowId is only used for iterative metadata, which is a special type of metadata that contains multiple rows (e.g. comments on a video). For any other metadata type this should ALWAYS be 1.
  • Values contain the actual values
    • FieldId refers to the inner xml tag that also has a fieldid (i.e. see <metafield> tag in updateXML example)
    • Type refers to the datatype of the value. See appendix for datatypes
    • Values contains the actual values that has to be set. This is different as per datatype.
  • ItemIds refers to the itemid of the item on which the data should be set.
