PeerTube Video Upload API

Operations dealing with adding video or audio. PeerTube supports two upload modes, and three import modes.### Upload- [_legacy_](#operation/uploadLegacy), where the video file is sent in a single request- [_resumable_](#operation/uploadResumableInit), where the video file is sent in chunksYou can upload videos more reliably by using the resumable variant. Its protocol letsyou resume an upload operation after a network interruption or other transmission failure,saving time and bandwidth in the event of network failures.Favor using resumable uploads in any of the following cases:- You are transferring large files- The likelihood of a network interruption is high- Uploads are originating from a device with a low-bandwidth or unstable Internet connection, such as a mobile device### Import- _URL_-based: where the URL points to any service supported by [youtube-dl](https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/)- _magnet_-based: where the URI resolves to a BitTorrent resource containing a single supported video file- _torrent_-based: where the metainfo file resolves to a BitTorrent resource containing a single supported video fileThe import function is practical when the desired video/audio is available online. It makes PeerTubedownload it for you, saving you as much bandwidth and avoiding any instability or limitation your network might have.

Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
