Introduction

This document will guide you on how to upload your own media files (such as images or audio) via the Jogg.ai API. After a successful upload, you will receive a Jogg.ai-hosted URL, which can be used in other API calls, for example, as a video background or a custom voice source.

Core Concept: Obtaining a Hosted URL

Why use this API? When creating a video, certain parameters (like background_url or audio_url) require a publicly accessible URL. If your media file is not on a public server, you can use this API to upload the file to Jogg.ai’s secure servers to obtain a temporary, usable hosted URL. Even if you have a publicly accessible URL, we still recommend uploading it to Jogg.ai’s secure servers, as your own URL might cause the task to fail due to network instability.
  • Process:
    1. Upload your local file via this API.
    2. The API returns a JSON response containing a media_url.
    3. In your API request to create a video, use this media_url as the value for the corresponding parameter.
  • Request Format: File uploads must use the multipart/form-data request body format.

Step 1: Obtain sign_url and asset_id

You can upload media to obtain your sign_url and asset_id.
  • sign_url: Used as the address to upload media.
  • asset_id: Gets the address of the uploaded resource.
Please refer to the Upload Media for more details. Request:
Response:
You can upload pictures, videos, audio and other media resources.

Step 2: Use sign_url to upload the file

Use the following cURL command to upload the file to the server. Make sure to replace <file-binary-data> with the actual binary data of the file. Request:
Pesponse:
Now asset_id is an available address to get resources.

Step 3: Use asset_id to get the file

Here’s an example:
