Video Upload API

AntCDN supports two upload workflows:

• Direct upload (recommended): request a pre-signed URL, then PUT bytes directly to storage.
• Upload from URL: give AntCDN an HTTPS URL and we fetch it server-side.

All upload requests use the API base https://api.antcdn.net/v1 and require X-Api-Key.

Option A (Recommended): Direct Upload with a Pre-signed URL

1) Request upload URL

/videos/upload-url

Example request:

curl -X POST "https://api.antcdn.net/v1/videos/upload-url" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "fileName": "demo.mp4",
    "allowPublicAccess": true,
    "videoQuality": "high"
  }'

Example response:

{
  "body": {
    "assetId": "vid_XXX",
    "signedURL": "https://<storage-provider>/<path>?<signature>",
    "bucketPath": "<internal-bucket-path>",
    "expiresAt": 1640995200
  }
}

2) Upload bytes

curl -X PUT "SIGNED_URL_FROM_STEP_1" --data-binary @demo.mp4

Option B: Upload from an Accessible URL

/videos/upload

curl -X POST "https://api.antcdn.net/v1/videos/upload" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "fileName": "demo.mp4",
    "videoURL": "https://example.com/demo.mp4",
    "allowPublicAccess": true,
    "videoQuality": "high"
  }'

Response:

{
  "body": { "assetId": "vid_XXX" }
}
