Use UpdateMediaStorageClass to modify the storage class of media assets - ApsaraVideo VOD - Alibaba Cloud - ApsaraVideo VOD

Operation description

Before using this operation, make sure that you fully understand the billing methods and pricing of ApsaraVideo VOD. Modifying the storage class of a media asset incurs storage fees. For billing details, see Media asset storage billing.
Modifying the storage class is an asynchronous operation. A callback is sent to you after the entire operation is complete.
If the current storage class of a media asset is Archive or ColdArchive, calling this operation automatically triggers a restore. After the restore is complete, the storage class is modified. You do not need to manually call the RestoreMedia operation to restore the media asset. For ColdArchive media assets, you need to specify the restore priority. The default value is RestoreTier=Standard.
A media asset that is being modified cannot be modified again or be used for production or processing.
Media assets in non-Standard storage classes have minimum storage duration requirements: Infrequent Access/source file Infrequent Access requires at least 30 days. Archive/source file Archive requires at least 60 days. ColdArchive/source file ColdArchive requires at least 180 days. If the storage duration is insufficient, modifying the storage class incurs storage fees for the remaining days. For example, if you modify the storage class from Infrequent Access to Standard after 10 days of storage, you are charged for the remaining 20 days of Infrequent Access storage, totaling 30 days of Infrequent Access storage fees.
Modifying the storage class of a self-managed bucket is not supported.

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.
API: The API that you can call to perform the action.
Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.
Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.
- For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.
- For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.
Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.
Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.

You can obtain the IDs by using the following methods: For audio or video files uploaded through the console, log on to the ApsaraVideo VOD console and choose Media Files > Audio/Video to view the audio or video ID. When you call the CreateUploadVideo operation to obtain the upload URL and credential, the video ID is the value of the VideoId response parameter. After the audio or video file is uploaded, you can call the SearchMedia operation to query the video ID, which is the value of the VideoId response parameter.	d56c2ac0cee271ed80004710b5ba****
Scope	string	No	The scope of the modification. If this parameter is not specified, the default value All is used. Valid values: All (default): Applies tiered storage to all resources (source files and transcoded streams) of the media asset. SourceFile: Applies tiered storage only to the source file of the media asset. Resources other than the source file use Standard storage.	All
StorageClass	string	Yes	The storage class. Valid values: Standard: Standard IA: Infrequent Access Archive: Archive ColdArchive: Cold Archive	Archive
RestoreTier	string	No	The restore priority (required only for ColdArchive media assets). If this parameter is not specified, the default value Standard is used. Valid values: Expedited: Expedited Standard (default): Standard Bulk: Bulk	Standard
AllowUpdateWithoutTimeLimit	boolean	No	Specifies whether to allow storage class modification for media assets that have not met the minimum storage duration requirement. Valid values: true: Allowed. false (default): Not allowed. Note If the storage duration of a media asset is insufficient and you force a storage class modification, additional retrieval fees are incurred.	false

For ColdArchive media assets, you can specify the restore duration and restore priority. The restore duration ranges from 1 day to 365 days. The retrieval time for different restore priorities is as follows:
