Please publish some REST API endpoints that will allow us to write scripts to update our media metadata. There are many features that are not provided today - such as sharing by collection, or updating metadata in a group, sharing videos by folder, etc. There are already endpoints that allow us to get all of our media metadata, but there is not a POST function that will allow us to then make an update. With this I could deal with a majority of the issues I have without having to wait for an official features.

My to main api calls would be to update metadata for an object and do granular sharing for an object to a group of users. But I am sure I could come up with quite a few more.

There is a Python library that should handle this:

This is from the overview on the Github page:
