The video upload via REST API is a very useful feature for system integrators to synchronize the VideoManager with a CMS-master.
Upload-options are full-file or chunked upload, furthermore you can optionally specify title, description and keywords as metadata, as well as define a channel-ID and group-ID the uploaded video will be assigned to.
To upload a video via the REST API, the steps listed below are necessary. While the first two steps are executed in the API, the upload is done via the file handler.
- Creating a video entity (with fileName) in the required VideoManager
- determining a upload link from the file handler
- uploading a video.
