If you want to upload media files that are not stored on your servers or terminals, you can upload the files by using the URLs that can be accessed over the Internet. ApsaraVideo VOD provides an API operation that you can use to upload media files by specifying the URLs of the files. This topic describes the usage notes and references for uploading multiple media files at a time by using the URLs of source files.

Usage notes

ApsaraVideo VOD provides an encapsulated service that you can use to upload multiple media files to a specific storage location at a time by using the URLs of source files that can be accessed over the internal network. This way, you do not need to download media files to your servers or devices before you use the upload SDK to upload the media files to ApsaraVideo VOD. This upload method is suitable for scenarios where you relocate a site.

Note The URL-based upload jobs are asynchronous. After you submit a URL-based upload job, it may take hours, even days to complete. If you require high timeliness, we recommend that you use the upload SDK.
