Azure

An Azure blob storage container can be defined as an input and/or output location for your videos using either the LightFlow portal or API.

Using the LightFlow Portal

Click the Azure icon on the I/O Storage page:

On the Azure Storage Creation page that appears, enter the following information:

• Name: Name of the Azure location as it will be displayed in LightFlow
• Azure blob storage container name: Azure bucket name
• Microsoft account name: Azure account name
• Microsoft account key: Azure account secret key
• Type: Select Input, Output or Input & Output (the same bucket can be selected for input and also as a repository for the output files)

Using the LightFlow API

To create an Azure endpoint with the API, send a POST instruction to api.lightflow.media/inputs-outputs

The response will include the unique identifier of the input/output storage location, which can be later selected as input (InputId) and/or output (OutputId) when posting a video.

curl -XPOST 'https://api.lightflow.media/inputs-outputs' \
  -H 'authorization: Bearer API_KEY' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{
