# update_video

Update a video's metadata. Only provided fields are updated. Supports all fields from create_video plus: - To add a category: provide categories array with {category_id, value} objects (call list_categories first to get the category_id). Omit id when adding. - To update an existing category entry: include the entry's id (from get_video) along with category_id and value. Without id, you'll create a duplicate entry. - To schedule auto-enable/disable: use enable_at, disable_at - To set monetization: subscription_required, purchase_price, etc. - To link to series: series_id, season, episode Example add: {"video_id": "...", "categories": [{"category_id": "6439b285101efc0001a067aa", "value": ["true"]}]} Example update existing: {"video_id": "...", "categories": [{"id": "<entry id from get_video>", "category_id": "6439b285101efc0001a067aa", "value": ["false"]}]}
