# Check Media

`POST /instagram/media/check`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.reeldrop.io` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.reeldrop.io/instagram/media/check`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Which of these media ids no longer exist on Instagram.

The media picker lists the newest 200 posts only, so "not in the list" also describes a
live post that is simply older. The automation builder asks this about the selected ids
it cannot find in the list before telling anyone a post is gone.

## Query parameters

- `workspace_id` string, nullable: Workspace this request applies to. Defaults to the caller's personal workspace. Must be one the caller belongs to.

  - `ids` string[]

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- MediaCheckResponse
  - `gone` string[]
  - `unknown` string[]
