Example with Node.js (with Axios)

const axios = require('axios');
const fs = require('fs');
const FormData = require('form-data');

// Load the image file
const filePath = '/path/to/your/video.mp4'; // Replace with your file path
const file = fs.createReadStream(filePath);

// Create a form data object
const form = new FormData();
form.append('file', file);

// Make the POST request
axios.post('https://api.fivemerr.com/v1/media/videos', form, {
  headers: {
    ...form.getHeaders(),
    'Authorization': 'YOUR_API_KEY' // Replace with your API key
  }
})
.then(response => {
  console.log(response.data.url);
})
.catch(error => {
  console.error(error);
});

Example with Python

import requests

# Load the image file
file_path = '/mnt/data/video.mp4' # Replace with your file path
files = {'file': open(file_path, 'rb')}

# Set the headers
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'YOUR_API_KEY', # Replace with your API key
    'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data'
}

# Make the POST request
response = requests.post('https://api.fivemerr.com/v1/media/videos', files=files, headers=headers)

# Print the response
print(response.json())

JSON Requests

Body

The request body should be a JSON string containing a key named file or data. Data should be encoded as base64 in the following format.

data:[<mediatype>][;base64],<data>

const axios = require('axios');

let data = JSON.stringify({
  "file": "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAA=="
});

let config = {
  method: 'post',
  maxBodyLength: Infinity,
  url: 'https://api.fivemerr.com/v1/media/videos',
  headers: { 
    'Content-Type': 'application/json', 
    'Authorization': '••••••'
  },
  data : data
};

axios.request(config)
.then((response) => {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
})
.catch((error) => {
  console.log(error);
});

x-www-form-urlencoded Requests

Body

The request body should be x-www-form-urlencoded containing a key named file or data. Data should be encoded as base64 in the following format.

data:[<mediatype>][;base64],<data>

Example with Node.js (with Axios)

const axios = require('axios');
const qs = require('qs');
let data = qs.stringify({
  'file': 'data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0kJggg==' 
});

let config = {
  method: 'post',
