# Finalize a presigned upload slot, ingesting the uploaded object into the media library.

`POST /media/uploads/{id}/finalize`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.reveldigital.com`
- URL: `https://api.reveldigital.com/media/uploads/{id}/finalize`
- Auth: one of:
  - OAuth 2
    - Authorization code: `https://id.reveldigital.com/connect/authorize`
    - Token URL: `https://id.reveldigital.com/connect/token` scopes: `webapi`
  - API key in header `X-RevelDigital-ApiKey`
  - API key in query parameter `api_key`
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/reveldigital/apis/revel-digital-rest-api/docs/media/uploads/:id/finalize/post.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Verifies the object exists in S3 (HeadObject), validates its size against the configured
maximum, downloads the staged object to the shared local `Uploads` disk, and runs the
SAME ingestion + media-type detection as the multipart upload (malware scan, dimensions,
hashing, transcoding, replication) — so a `.webapp` is registered as a webapp and a
video is transcoded. Returns the created media. This call is idempotent — calling it again
returns the same media record.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required
