Downloading original video file

stevec · 2014-11-28 05:34:06

How can I get a working link to download an original video file? I've tried Downloads.GetLink() with just the assetId, but when I go to the returned URL I get the message "Output format not understood: use JPG, GIF, PNG etc."

I've figured this out, I need to use Downloads.PublishAssetByDownloadSize with a downloadSizeId of 0. It appears that this feature is not documented.

Now I have another problem, how can I delete the published link once I have downloaded the file? Or is there a way to set an expiry when I use Downloads.PublishAssetByDownloadSize to do the publish?

Hi Steve,

As you've seen, it isn't currently possible to use Downloads.GetLink to get an original video, however this will be supported in the near future.

I'm afraid it isn't currently possible to expire / delete published files over the API.

Thanks Dominic.

Any idea what sort of timeframe I'd be looking at for Downloads.GetLink to support original video files?

Hi Steve,

It should be in the 6.1.4 RC - I'm not sure when this will be available to you, but probably by early January.
