Is it possible to change the PublicId?

markstuartwalker · November 2023

I can edit the PublicId but seem not to be able to update it programmatically using NET.

Here is a fragment of my code

UpdateParams up = new UpdateParams(oldPublicId) // tws7/5113_d5240053-1b32-49fd-a11a-400e7a6f5d2e/OriginalWebp
{
    PublicId = newPublicId // tws7/5113_d5240053-1b32-49fd-a11a-400e7a6f5d2e/Original
};
c.cloudinary.UpdateResource(up);

In comparison this works as I would expect

UpdateParams up = new UpdateParams(oldPublicId)
{
    DisplayName = "Original"
};
c.cloudinary.UpdateResource(up);

Is there something that I am missing?

Thanks

Mark

Hi @markstuartwalker,

Thanks for reaching out.

Please make use of the rename function call that we have in Upload API as mentioned here in the documentation: https://cloudinary.com/documentation/image_upload_api_reference#rename

Example:

RenameParams renameParams = new RenameParams("saroggysyj3haulrxpbj", "Hello_New_Public_ID");

cloudinary.Rename(renameParams);

The update call that you are using does not have to public ID option.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Best regards,

Sreenath
