Setting Country/City/State not through UI?

[gytisgreitai]

Hey,

so want to upload bunch of pictures from Italian Dolomites. Since most of them are in the mountains .. the default geocoding fails:

[Nest] 6  - 01/11/2025, 8:37:14 PM    WARN [Microservices:MapRepository] Response from database for reverse geocoding latitude: 46.6980833333333, longitude: 12.0876694444444 was null
[Nest] 6  - 01/11/2025, 8:37:14 PM    WARN [Microservices:MapRepository] Response from database for natural earth reverse geocoding latitude: 46.6980833333333, longitude: 12.0876694444444 was null

which is ok, since not a lot of populated areas nearby.

So I decided to use Google Places reverse geocoding - took the coordinates, and wrote an simple app that writes into IPTC tags without first checking if Immich actually supports those :)

Now as I understand the Country/City/State is only read from reverse geocoding (this part of code) and then stored into exif table in the database.

I could not find any API to update the exif (missed something?) - so I'm thinking of extracting manually that IPTC data that I've just written and generating SQL statements to update it (.e.g update exif set "city"='...', state='...', country='..' where "assetId"='...';)

Is there an easier way? Thanks!
