Parameters
Name | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
use
|
(required) String / Array of Strings | GeneralSpecifies which Step(s) to use as the input to this Robot.Special Step namesA special Step name is":original" , which provides user uploads handled by Transloadit.
Providing several Steps as inputYou can add arrays touse several Steps:
Step bundlingSome Robots can gather several Step results for a single invocation. For example, the /file/compress Robot would normally create one Zip file for each file passed to it. If you'd setbundle_steps to true,
however, it will create one archive containing all the result files from
all Steps you give it. To enable bundling, provide an object
like the one below to the use parameter:
This is a crucial parameter
for the /video/adaptive Robot,
otherwise you'll generate 1 playlist for each viewing quality. Keep in mind that all input Steps must be present in your Template. If one of them is missing, no result is generated because the Robot waits indefinitely for all input Steps to be finished. Group by originalSticking with the /file/compress Robot example, you can setgroup_by_original to true , in order to create a separate Zip file
for each of your uploaded or imported files, instead of
creating one archive containing all originals (or one per resulting file). This is a crucial parameter
for the /media/playlist Robot.

credentials
|
(required) String | Please create your associated Template Credentials in your Transloadit account and use the name
of your Template Credentials as this parameter's value.
They will contain the values for your FTP host, user and password.
While we recommend to use Template Credentials at all times, some use cases demand dynamic credentials for which using
Template Credentials with their static nature is too unwieldy. If you have this requirement, feel free to use the following
parameters instead: "host" , "user" , "password" .

String | "${unique_prefix}/${file.url_name}"
|
The path at which the file is to be stored. This can contain any available Assembly variables. Please note that you might need to include your homedir at the beginning of the path. |
