- Base64 returns a base64 encoded text blob in the JSON response that can be decoded into an image/document. This can be a maximum of 5 MB in size.
- If one has large media, then instead one should use a stream, which returns a file stream that can be saved directly. If one has a URL to a media, it can be used to save the media.
- When importing media via the media import API, one can specify a sourceID for the media upon import. This can also be used later for editing/exporting. This sourceID exists only if set during import and therefore may not always be available.
- ID and MediaCode is feed®'s internal and unique ID sequence number for media and is always accessible and unique. You can find the ID (number) in the feed URL when you are looking at a media, or you can activate a column with the ID in feed media.
