### Parameters

- `account_id: str`

  The account identifier tag.

- `url: str`

  A video's URL. The server must be publicly routable and support `HTTP HEAD` requests and `HTTP GET` range requests. The server should respond to `HTTP HEAD` requests with a `content-range` header that includes the size of the file.

- `allowed_origins: Optional[SequenceNotStr[AllowedOrigins]]`

  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: Optional[str]`

  A user-defined identifier for the media creator.

- `meta: Optional[object]`

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

  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.

- `thumbnail_timestamp_pct: Optional[float]`

  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: Optional[Watermark]`

  - `uid: Optional[str]`

    The unique identifier for the watermark profile.

  - `size: Optional[float]`

    The size of the media item in bytes.

  - `status: Optional[Status]`

    Specifies a detailed status for a video. If the `state` is `inprogress` or `error`, the `step` field returns `encoding` or `manifest`. If the `state` is `inprogress`, `pctComplete` returns a number between 0 and 100 to indicate the approximate percent of completion. If the `state` is `error`, `errorReasonCode` and `errorReasonText` provide additional details.

    - `error_reason_code: Optional[str]`

  - `thumbnail_timestamp_pct: Optional[float]`

    The timestamp for a thumbnail image calculated as a percentage value of the video's duration.

If this value is not set, the default thumbnail image is taken from 0s of the video.

  - `uid: Optional[str]`

    A Cloudflare-generated unique identifier for a media item.

  - `uploaded: Optional[datetime]`

    The date and time the media item was uploaded.

  - `upload_expiry: Optional[datetime]`

    The date and time when the video upload URL is no longer valid for direct user uploads.

  - `watermark: Optional[Watermark]`

    - `created: Optional[datetime]`

      The date and a time a watermark profile was created.

    - `name: Optional[str]`

      A short description of the watermark profile.

    - `opacity: Optional[float]`

      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: Optional[float]`

      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: Optional[str]`

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

    - `scale: Optional[float]`

      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: Optional[float]`

      The size of the image in bytes.

    - `uid: Optional[str]`

      The unique identifier for a watermark profile.

    - `width: Optional[int]`

      The width of the image in pixels.
