## Upload videos via direct upload URLs

`client.Stream.DirectUpload.New(ctx, params) (*DirectUploadNewResponse, error)`

**post** `/accounts/{account_id}/stream/direct_upload`

Creates a direct upload that allows video uploads without an API key.

### Parameters

- `params DirectUploadNewParams`

  - `AccountID param.Field[string]`

    Path param: The account identifier tag.

  - `MaxDurationSeconds param.Field[int64]`

    Body param: The maximum duration in seconds for a video upload. Can be set for a video that is not yet uploaded to limit its duration. Uploads that exceed the specified duration will fail during processing. A value of `-1` means the value is unknown.

  - `AllowedOrigins param.Field[[]AllowedOrigins]`

    Body param: Lists the origins allowed to display the video. Enter allowed origin domains in an array and use `*` for wildcard subdomains. Empty arrays allow the video to be viewed on any origin.

  - `Creator param.Field[string]`

    Body param: A user-defined identifier for the media creator.

  - `Expiry param.Field[Time]`

    Body param: The date and time after upload when videos will not be accepted.

  - `Meta param.Field[unknown]`

    Body param: A user modifiable key-value store used to reference other systems of record for managing videos.

  - `RequireSignedURLs param.Field[bool]`

    Body param: Indicates whether the video can be a accessed using the UID. When set to `true`, a signed token must be generated with a signing key to view the video.

  - `ScheduledDeletion param.Field[Time]`

    Body param: Indicates the date and time at which the video will be deleted. Omit the field to indicate no change, or include with a `null` value to remove an existing scheduled deletion. If specified, must be at least 30 days from upload time.

  - `ThumbnailTimestampPct param.Field[float64]`

    Body param: The timestamp for a thumbnail image calculated as a percentage value of the video's duration. To convert from a second-wise timestamp to a percentage, divide the desired timestamp by the total duration of the video.  If this value is not set, the default thumbnail image is taken from 0s of the video.

  - `Watermark param.Field[DirectUploadNewParamsWatermark]`

    Body param

    - `UID string`

      The unique identifier for the watermark profile.

  - `UploadCreator param.Field[string]`

    Header param: A user-defined identifier for the media creator.

### Returns

- `type DirectUploadNewResponse struct{…}`

  - `ScheduledDeletion Time`

    Indicates the date and time at which the video will be deleted. Omit the field to indicate no change, or include with a `null` value to remove an existing scheduled deletion. If specified, must be at least 30 days from upload time.

  - `UID string`

    A Cloudflare-generated unique identifier for a media item.

  - `UploadURL string`

    The URL an unauthenticated upload can use for a single `HTTP POST multipart/form-data` request.

  - `Watermark Watermark`

    - `Created Time`

      The date and a time a watermark profile was created.

    - `DownloadedFrom string`

      The source URL for a downloaded image. If the watermark profile was created via direct upload, this field is null.

    - `Height int64`

      The height of the image in pixels.

    - `Name string`

      A short description of the watermark profile.

    - `Opacity float64`

      The translucency of the image. A value of `0.0` makes the image completely transparent, and `1.0` makes the image completely opaque. Note that if the image is already semi-transparent, setting this to `1.0` will not make the image completely opaque.

    - `Padding float64`

      The whitespace between the adjacent edges (determined by position) of the video and the image. `0.0` indicates no padding, and `1.0` indicates a fully padded video width or length, as determined by the algorithm.

    - `Position string`

      The location of the image. Valid positions are: `upperRight`, `upperLeft`, `lowerLeft`, `lowerRight`, and `center`. Note that `center` ignores the `padding` parameter.

    - `Scale float64`

      The size of the image relative to the overall size of the video. This parameter will adapt to horizontal and vertical videos automatically. `0.0` indicates no scaling (use the size of the image as-is), and `1.0`fills the entire video.

    - `Size float64`

      The size of the image in bytes.

    - `UID string`

      The unique identifier for a watermark profile.

    - `Width int64`

      The width of the image in pixels.

    AccountID: cloudflare.F("023e105f4ecef8ad9ca31a8372d0c353"),
    MaxDurationSeconds: cloudflare.F(int64(1)),
  })
  if err != nil {
    panic(err.Error())
  }
  fmt.Printf("%+v\n", directUpload.UID)
