Create Express Video Request

post

Simplified interface for creating new video enhancement requests.

This endpoint skips the need to gather video information and uses a single-URL upload rather than multi-part upload. Calling the accept and complete-upload endpoints are also no longer necessary.

This endpoint does not return the cost estimates. Once the system receives and analyzes the source video file, cost estimates will appear in the response of the status endpoint. The lower bound value will be billed.

The endpoint returns a direct upload URL to our cloud storage for you to HTTP PUT the video file to.
