I'm trying to upload/import a track to soundcloud via their api.
Right now, it looks like you can only upload an audio file, but you can only do it by POSTing the file data.
My question is, is it possible to import to soundcloud (through the api) from a URL?
sort of like they do here: http://importer.soundcloudlabs.com
but via the soundcloud api.
Any ideas? I don't really want to make this a 2 legged process (download audio file, then upload file data to soundcloud)
Thanks!
I don't think this is possible. On the importer, you'll probably find that behind the scenes, it's doing that two-step itself. User inputs url, back end server downloads file, then uploads to SoundCloud API.

I'm using azure media player to play AES encrypted videos on my website. However, I don't want to use the default HLS streaming uri that comes back.
What I'm doing is loading the m3u8 from the HLS endpoint and adding captions to it directly (Since I can't find a way to add captions through media services itself, if there is one, I'd be all ears). So the url looks something like this: https://website.com/getvideo/100000
This url returns a valid m3u8 file and I can get it playing in other players (unencrypted).
My question is this: Is there a way to get azure media player to recognize this url as a valid return of an m3u8 file? Currently it's not even trying to hit my endpoint and I suspect it's because it's looking for something in the url.
Let me know if you need more information.
As per the documentation, if I wish to upload only media without any metadata, the simple upload will do. And the documentation says:
So, as per the documentation, I formed the request as follows and the body of the request is binary data:
But I am not able to figure out where to set the parent directory information for the media being uploaded if the body is comprised of only media.
Do I need to submit two requests, one for metadata and one for media? For that, we are provided with the multipart upload.
Can anyone please help me with a working example of a simple upload?
The form-data section in this Postman docs page might help you with entering the file location.
I found a YouTube video on the subject too.
I am using the Dropbox REST API, and i am wondering if there is a way to list files in a folder with URL for each file? Or do I have to call the Media endpoint individually for each of them.
Take a look at their documentation for /media. You would need to loop through a list of files, but this should do the trick.
So, I'm using the Facebook Graph API to upload a photo. Using curl, it goes something like this:
curl -F 'access_token={some access token}'
-F 'source=#/some/file/path/foo.png'
-F 'message=This is a test of programatic image uploading'
https://graph.facebook.com/me/photos
Now, this works fine if I have the file on the machine I'm making the request from. The issue is that the system I'm working on gets the image as a url (say, "http://example.com/foo.png"). I'd rather not download the image from example.com to my server just to upload it to facebook, since I have no need to keep it other than that. Is there any way I can just pass the url to facebook, or is this impossible?
(-F 'source=#http://example.com/foo.png' does not work)
In the past, we've simply downloaded the file locally to the server, then handled the upload and unlinked it. This way we're also able to be sure that the asset was available (servers/connections flaking out) to be uploaded in the first place. I don't believe you can initiate an upload and the media to come from a third-party (may be wrong though).
I need to let users upload videos in GWT site, and after uploading I should allow them to preview it. I don't need any controls, just a play and stop button would be enough so that I can show them a preview?
Uploading the video to your server is the easy part - that's what the FileUpload Widget is for. You just need to write some sort of end point on the server side - a servlet, PHP script, etc. that will receive the file and store it somewhere.
The tricky part is the preview - AFAIK, you need a media streaming server for that. The only free and good one I know is Red5 (site1, site2, site3 - don't know which one is the current one =_=).
An alternative would be to use an exisiting media streaming site that exposes an API for users to upload videos - like YouTube API. The docs show how to upload a file (directly from the user, or from your server) to the YouTube service - in return you'll get a link or HTML code to embed on your site.
