--- title: "List attempt media metadata" slug: "v1attemptsidmedia-1" updated: 2026-04-24T06:45:52Z published: 2026-04-24T06:45:52Z --- > ## Documentation Index > Fetch the complete documentation index at: https://devdocs.veriff.com/llms.txt > Use this file to discover all available pages before exploring further. # List attempt media metadata Get/v1/attempts/{id}/media ### Returns a list of metadata objects of an attempt-specific media file #### When to use this endpoint - Use this endpoint to retrieve metadata about media files captured during a specific attempt inside the verification process. - Common use cases include: - Accessing attempt-specific media when a session has multiple attempts - Getting attempt-specific media file's metadata (IDs, URLs, file types) - Identifying which images and videos are available before downloading them - Building media lists for internal review systems #### Response data - The response includes two arrays containing metadata objects for all media associated with the attempt: - `images` array: Contains metadata objects for image files (document photos, selfies, etc.) - `videos` array: Contains metadata objects for video files - Each metadata object includes: - Unique media ID - Context identifier (what the media shows, e.g., document-front, face) - File metadata (size in bytes, mimetype) - Associated session ID - For videos: duration in seconds - **Sorting:** The objects in both arrays are sorted by the automation system based on accuracy (does the image match the required type) and quality. Higher quality and more accurate media appears first. - **Finding attempt IDs:** To find a specific `attemptId`, call [GET /v1/sessions//attempts](https://devdocs.veriff.com/apidocs/v1sessionsidattempts-1) to get the list of all attempts for a session. - If the attempt has no media, the corresponding array will be empty. #### Implementation notes - This endpoint requires session-level [HMAC signature](https://devdocs.veriff.com/docs/hmac-authentication-and-endpoint-security#public-api-v1) authentication - The `timestamp` field is deprecated and always returns `null` - Always ensure that you use the correct API URL to send requests. See the [API URL section](https://devdocs.veriff.com/apidocs/veriff-public-api-guides#api-url) for more info. - The order of parameters in the real API response can differ from the order you see in this documentation. This is expected and part of the [Backwards compatible changes](https://devdocs.veriff.com/apidocs/veriff-public-api-guides#backwards-compatible-changes) requirements.
