Upload an asset

Timestamp (in milliseconds) at which asset was created

Name of the token used to create this object

The URL to directly download the asset, e.g. `https://livepeercdn.com/asset/eawrrk06ts2d0mzb/video`. It is not recommended to use this for playback.

The name of the asset. This is not necessarily the filename - it can be a custom name or title.


The playback ID to use with the Playback Info endpoint to retrieve playback URLs.

URL for HLS playback. **It is recommended to not use this URL**, and instead use playback IDs with the Playback Info endpoint to retrieve the playback URLs - this URL format is subject to change (e.g. https://livepeercdn.com/asset/ea03f37e-f861-4cdd-b495-0e60b6d753ad/index.m3u8).

Requested profiles for the asset to be transcoded into. Configured
on the upload APIs payload or through the `stream.recordingSpec`
field for recordings. If not specified, default profiles are derived
based on the source input. If this is a recording, the source will
not be present in this list but will be available for playback.


Error message if the asset creation failed.

Current progress of the task creating this asset.

Timestamp (in milliseconds) at which the asset was last updated

List of tracks associated with the asset when the format
contemplates them (e.g. mp4)


Developer-managed ID of the user who created the resource.

Helper syntax to specify an unverified creator ID, fully managed by the developer.

URL to access file via HTTP through an IPFS gateway

Whether the playback policy for an asset or stream is public or signed

List of allowed origins for CORS playback (<scheme>://<hostname>:<port>, <scheme>://<hostname>)

Interval (in seconds) at which the playback policy should be
refreshed (default 600 seconds)


ID of the webhook to use for playback policy

Error message if the last storage changed failed.

Current progress of the task updating the storage.

ID of the last task to run successfully, that created
the currently saved data.


ID of any currently running task that is exporting this
asset to IPFS.


Restricts the size of the output video using the constant quality feature. Increasing this value will result in a lower quality video. Note that this parameter might not work if the transcoder lacks support for it.


To upload an asset, your first need to request for a direct upload URL
and only then actually upload the contents of the asset.
\
\
Once you created a upload link, you have 2 options, resumable or direct
upload. For a more reliable experience, you should use resumable uploads
which will work better for users with unreliable or slow network
connections. If you want a simpler implementation though, you should
just use a direct upload.


## Direct Upload
For a direct upload, make a PUT request to the URL received in the url
field of the response above, with the raw video file as the request
body. response above:


## Resumable Upload
Livepeer supports resumable uploads via Tus. This section provides a
simple example of how to use tus-js-client to upload a video file.
\
\
From the previous section, we generated a URL to upload a video file to
Livepeer on POST /api/asset/request-upload. You should use the
tusEndpoint field of the response to upload the video file and track the
progress:

```
# This assumes there is an `input` element of `type="file"` with id
`fileInput` in the HTML


const input = document.getElementById('fileInput');

const file = input.files[0];

const upload = new tus.Upload(file, {
  endpoint: tusEndpoint, // URL from `tusEndpoint` field in the
`/request-upload` response
  metadata: {
    filename,
    filetype: 'video/mp4',
  },
  uploadSize: file.size,
  onError(err) {
    console.error('Error uploading file:', err);
  },
  onProgress(bytesUploaded, bytesTotal) {
    const percentage = ((bytesUploaded / bytesTotal) * 100).toFixed(2);
    console.log('Uploaded ' + percentage + '%');
  },
  onSuccess() {
    console.log('Upload finished:', upload.url);
  },
});

const previousUploads = await upload.findPreviousUploads();

if (previousUploads.length > 0) {
  upload.resumeFromPreviousUpload(previousUploads[0]);
}

upload.start();

```

> Note: If you are using tus from node.js, you need to add a custom URL
storage to enable resuming from previous uploads. On the browser, this
is enabled by default using local storage. In node.js, add urlStorage:
new tus.FileUrlStorage("path/to/tmp/file"), to the UploadFile object
definition above.
