## Initiate video uploads using TUS

`stream.create(StreamCreateParams**kwargs)`

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

Initiates a video upload using the TUS protocol. On success, the server responds with a status code 201 (created) and includes a `location` header to indicate where the content should be uploaded. Refer to https://tus.io for protocol details.

  The account identifier tag.

- `body: object`

  Notes: The only supported version of TUS protocol is 1.0.0.

  - `"1.0.0"`

- `upload_length: int`

  Indicates the size of the entire upload in bytes. The value must be a non-negative integer.

- `direct_user: Optional[bool]`

  Provisions a URL to let your end users upload videos directly to Cloudflare Stream without exposing your API token to clients.

- `upload_creator: Optional[str]`

  A user-defined identifier for the media creator.
