How to upload local .mp4 to VoD

[cosi]

I have a video file on my server(ant media also installed on same server). It's quite large(12gb) and I don't want to wait for it download on my local machine then upload it again. Is their any way of adding video file to vod?

Please refer to the rest api here https://antmedia.io/rest/#/ and use the endpoint 

POST /v2/vods/directory

to import a vod file from a directory. 

 

This should achieve what you are looking for, but please let us know its not what you need.

Unauthorized, from where to get headers/token

Did you get a 403 Forbidden response?

If so, can you check to see if you have IP/JWT filtering enabled?  It looks like either one of these options have been selected if you are unauthorized. 

Please refer to this documentation on how to enable or disable rest API security https://resources.antmedia.io/docs/securing-the-rest-api.
