      VOD provides an SDK for Python for uploading videos from a server. For more information on the upload process, please see Guide.

      Integration Methods

      Installing by using pip

      pip install vod-python-sdk

      Installing through source package

      If pip is not used in your project, you can directly download the source code and import it into the project:
      Access from GitHub
      Click here to download the SDK for Python
      Download the latest code and decompress:
      $ cd vod-python-sdk
      $ python setup.py install

      Simple Video Upload

      Initializing upload object

      Initialize a VodUploadClient instance with a TencentCloud API key.
      from qcloud_vod.vod_upload_client import VodUploadClient
      
      client = VodUploadClient("your secretId", "your secretKey")

      Constructing upload request object

      from qcloud_vod.model import VodUploadRequest
      
      request = VodUploadRequest()
      request.MediaFilePath = "/data/file/Wildlife.mp4"

      Calling upload method

      Call the upload method and pass in the access point region and upload request.
      try:
          response = client.upload("ap-guangzhou", request)
          print(response.FileId)
          print(response.MediaUrl)
      except Exception as err:
          # Handle business exception
          print(err)
      Note:
      The upload method automatically selects simple upload or multipart upload based on the file size, eliminating your need to take care of every step in multipart upload.

      Advanced Features

      Uploading cover

      from qcloud_vod.vod_upload_client import VodUploadClient
      from qcloud_vod.model import VodUploadRequest
      
      client = VodUploadClient("your secretId", "your secretKey")
      request = VodUploadRequest()
      request.MediaFilePath = "/data/file/Wildlife.mp4"
      request.CoverFilePath = "/data/file/Wildlife-Cover.png"
      try:
          response = client.upload("ap-guangzhou", request)
          print(response.FileId)
          print(response.MediaUrl)
          print(response.CoverUrl)
      except Exception as err:
          # Handle business exception
          print(err)

      Specifying task flow

      First, create a task flow template and name it. When initiating the task flow, you can set the Procedure parameter with the task flow template name, and the task flow will be executed automatically upon upload success.
      from qcloud_vod.vod_upload_client import VodUploadClient
      from qcloud_vod.model import VodUploadRequest
      
      client = VodUploadClient("your secretId", "your secretKey")
      request = VodUploadRequest()
      request.MediaFilePath = "/data/file/Wildlife.mp4"
      request.Procedure = "Your Procedure Name"
      try:
          response = client.upload("ap-guangzhou", request)
          print(response.FileId)
          print(response.MediaUrl)
      except Exception as err:
          # Handle business exception
          print(err)

      Uploading to subapplication

      Pass in a subapplication ID. After the upload is successful, the resource will belong only to the specified subapplication.
      from qcloud_vod.vod_upload_client import VodUploadClient
      from qcloud_vod.model import VodUploadRequest
      
      client = VodUploadClient("your secretId", "your secretKey")
      request = VodUploadRequest()
      request.MediaFilePath = "/data/file/Wildlife.mp4"
      request.SubAppId = 101
      try:
          response = client.upload("ap-guangzhou", request)
          print(response.FileId)
          print(response.MediaUrl)
      except Exception as err:
          # Handle business exception
          print(err)

      Specifying storage region

      In the console, confirm that the target storage region has been activated. If not, you can do so as instructed in Upload Storage Settings and then set the abbreviation of the storage region through the StorageRegion attribute.
      from qcloud_vod.vod_upload_client import VodUploadClient
      from qcloud_vod.model import VodUploadRequest
      
      client = VodUploadClient("your secretId", "your secretKey")
      request = VodUploadRequest()
      request.MediaFilePath = "/data/file/Wildlife.mp4"
      request.StorageRegion = "ap-chongqing"
      try:
          response = client.upload("ap-guangzhou", request)
          print(response.FileId)
          print(response.MediaUrl)
      except Exception as err:
          # Handle business exception
          print(err)

      Specifying the number of concurrent parts

      The number of concurrent parts is applicable to uploading a large file in multiple parts simultaneously. The advantage of multipart upload lies in that a large file can be uploaded quickly. The SDK automatically selects simple upload or multipart upload based on the file size, eliminating your need to take care of every step in multipart upload. The number of concurrent parts of the file is specified by the ConcurrentUploadNumber parameter.
      from qcloud_vod.vod_upload_client import VodUploadClient
      from qcloud_vod.model import VodUploadRequest
      
      client = VodUploadClient("your secretId", "your secretKey")
      request = VodUploadRequest()
      request.MediaFilePath = "/data/file/Wildlife.mp4"
      request.ConcurrentUploadNumber = 5
      try:
          response = client.upload("ap-guangzhou", request)
          print(response.FileId)
          print(response.MediaUrl)
      except Exception as err:
          # Handle business exception
          print(err)

      Uploading with temporary credentials

      Pass in the relevant key information of the temporary credentials to use the temporary credentials for authentication and upload.
      from qcloud_vod.vod_upload_client import VodUploadClient
      from qcloud_vod.model import VodUploadRequest
      
      client = VodUploadClient("Credentials TmpSecretId", "Credentials TmpSecretKey", "Credentials Token")
      request = VodUploadRequest()
      request.MediaFilePath = "/data/file/Wildlife.mp4"
      try:
          response = client.upload("ap-guangzhou", request)
          print(response.FileId)
          print(response.MediaUrl)
      except Exception as err:
          # Handle business exception
          print(err)

      Uploading adaptive bitstream file

      The adaptive bitstream formats supported by this SDK for upload include HLS and DASH, and the media files referenced by the manifest (M3U8 or MPD) must be relative paths (i.e., URLs and absolute paths cannot be used) and be located in the same-level directory or subdirectory of manifest (i.e., ../ cannot be used). When calling the SDK's upload APIs, enter the manifest path as the MediaFilePath parameter, and the SDK will parse the list of related media files and upload them together.
      from qcloud_vod.vod_upload_client import VodUploadClient
      from qcloud_vod.model import VodUploadRequest
      
      client = VodUploadClient("your secretId", "your secretKey")
      request = VodUploadRequest()
      request.MediaFilePath = "/data/file/prog_index.mp4"
      try:
          response = client.upload("ap-guangzhou", request)
          print(response.FileId)
          print(response.MediaUrl)
      except Exception as err:
          # Handle business exception
          print(err)
