# Add image

`POST /v1/content/add-image`

Adds an image to the brand image library from a public URL: fetches it, optimizes it (resize ≤1200px, palette PNG via Sharp), stores it, and vector-indexes it so the email agent can find it. Returns the durable cdn.brew.new URL plus dimensions. Credit-metered (fixed cost).

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string

## Request body

- ContentAddImageRequest
  - `imageUrl` string, uri, required

## Response `200`

The image was optimized, saved to the brand library, and rehosted; `url` is a durable cdn.brew.new URL.

- ContentAddImageResponse
  - `url` string, uri, required
  - `width` integer, required
  - `height` integer, required
  - `aspectRatio` string, required

## Other responses

- `400` — The request body or query string was invalid (unknown key, wrong type, or missing required field). Strict schemas reject unknown keys — including `brandId`, which is always resolved from the API key.
- `401` — The API key was missing, invalid, or revoked.
- `402` — The org's remaining credit balance is below what this operation requires. Credit cost is published PER-OPERATION (see `GET /v1/help`): content/media operations charge a flat cost, while AI generation (email generate/edit/import, image generation) is usage-metered — charged by actual model usage rather than a flat price. `details.cost` carries the amount the runtime required for THIS call. Check your balance up front via `GET /v1/usage`. No `Retry-After` — credits reset at the billing-period boundary.
- `403` — The caller does not have the required `emails` permission.
- `409` — The same `Idempotency-Key` was reused with a different request body.
- `422` — The source image/video could not be processed (unreachable URL, non-decodable media, or upload failure).
- `429` — The request hit the rolling rate limit window.
- `500` — Unexpected internal error.
- `503` — The credit balance could not be verified (a transient billing dependency outage). The gate fails closed rather than do paid work it cannot meter. Retryable — `Retry-After` indicates when.
