Posting videos in Gallery using API

[cb37fr]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the api to post a video in Gallery (.mp4), the process is working with photos but I get an error with video.

Is it possible to upload a video using API ?

Thanks

It should be possible - what is the error you are getting?

Endpoint :  POST /gallery/images

{
    "errorCode": "1G316\/6",
    "errorMessage": "NO_IMAGE"
}

It's the only error I get... I'm using the same method to upload an image (jpg) and it's working, as soon as it is an .mp4 file I get this error.

The file is declared as the "image" value in the array of the command as I'm doing usually for a .jpg

It's posted with a user who has video posting permission in the settings and the file type is allowed, it's also working if the user is posting the mp4 from the gallery website.

I would like to be sure that the API can handle videos upload for the gallery ?

 

Thank you !

How large is the video? It is possible you are going over some limit at the server level. Try with a very small video (under 2MB) to verify that works first, which should isolate whether the issue you are facing is generalized or specific to the file you are uploading.

It's a small 1mb mp4, and I can upload bigger mp4 directly from IPS gallery so I don't think it's a server limit issue. Some of the jpg that are working with the API upload are bigger.  I tried with a local and a distant mp4 and no success..

The script is working perfectly with a jpg source.

Have you ever successfully uploaded a video through the API ? I'd like to know for sure it's possible, the only references I get from the API guide are for images, nothing about videos.

Thank you
