_We are working on the latest_ **Litium Empty Web** accelerator project with latest storefront

We’re trying to upload media using the Admin API but are running into issues.  
A `PUT` request to `/Litium/api/admin/media/files/{systemId}/upload` returns a 404.

A `POST` request to `/Litium/api/admin/media/files` requires a `blobUri`.

Please provide documentation or a working example of how to upload media files using the Admin API.

Litium version: _[8.24.1]_

Hi, did you try with /litium/api/admin/media/files/{{systemId}/upload? Not capital letter at the beginning. I don’t know if it affects but worth for a try 🙂 Did you try it with Postman? Otherwise create a ticket by sending a mail to [support@litium.com](mailto:support@litium.com) so that we can handle your case.

We managed to sort it out — we first created the file using the POST endpoint and used a `blobUri` in the format `litium.blob://media/[systemid-with-dashes-removed]`. After that, the PUT upload worked as expected.  
It would still be very helpful to have accessible documentation covering this flow, especially around generating the `blobUri` and the correct sequence for creating and uploading media.

</div>

First create the file in the folder,

```json
{
  "fields": {
    "_nameInvariantCulture": {
      "*": "img.jpg"
    },
  },
  "fieldTemplateSystemId": "409f72c2-cea9-4917-8d60-39d475e2c565",
  "folderSystemId": "fa416bd4-33f4-414f-97d8-669e7c91e27f"
}

```

Complete request with curl

```bash
curl -X POST "https://demoadmin.litium.com/Litium/api/admin/media/files" -H "accept: */*" -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{ \"fields\": { \"_nameInvariantCulture\": { \"*\": \"img.jpg\" }, }, \"fieldTemplateSystemId\": \"409f72c2-cea9-4917-8d60-39d475e2c565\", \"folderSystemId\": \"fa416bd4-33f4-414f-97d8-669e7c91e27f\"}"

```

Response

```json
{
  "accessControlList": [
    {
      "groupSystemId": "5b521f8c-a7a2-44e0-ab76-1c60d740bded",
      "operation": "Entity/Read"
    }
  ],
  "fields": {
    "_nameInvariantCulture": {
      "*": "img.jpg"
    }
  },
  "fieldTemplateSystemId": "409f72c2-cea9-4917-8d60-39d475e2c565",
  "folderSystemId": "fa416bd4-33f4-414f-97d8-669e7c91e27f",
  "systemId": "293b8e24-6b21-42d4-b7bb-a6b9087c4c36",
  "trashCanStatus": 1
}

```

Upload the image to the file, this is a `multipart/form-data` request, not a regular `application/json` request

```bash
curl -X PUT "https://demoadmin.litium.com/Litium/api/admin/media/files/293b8e24-6b21-42d4-b7bb-a6b9087c4c36/upload" -H "accept: */*" -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F "fileName=@/path/to/your/file.jpg"

```
