    UploadAuth String The upload credential.
    ImageURL String The URL of the image.
    ImageId String The ID of the image.

    Note:

    • This operation does not upload image files. To upload a file, you need to obtain the upload URL and credential for the file, and then use an upload SDK to upload it. The process is the same as that of uploading videos.
    • Upload image watermarks through the CreateUploadAttachedMedia operation.
    • If the image upload credential expires, call this operation again to obtain the upload URL and a new upload credential. The validity period of an upload credential is 3,000 seconds.
    • If you have enabled the domain name authentication feature of ApsaraVideo for VOD, you cannot access the returned ImageURL in a browser and the HTTP status code 403 is returned. To resolve this issue, you can disable URL signing or generate a signed URL.
    • For more information, see Upload URL and credential.
