The /softlayer/store Robot

We export to the storage platform of your choice.

The /softlayer/store Robot exports encoding results to Softlayer / IBM Cloud.

Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
`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 Softlayer container, user, key and auth endpoint. 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: `"container"`, `"user"`, `"key"`, `"auth_endpoint"`.
`path`	String	`"${unique_prefix}/${file.url_name}"`	The path at which the file is to be stored. This may include any available Assembly variables.
`headers`	String	`{}`	A JavaScript object containing a list of headers to be set for this file on S3, such as `{ FileURL: "${file.url_name}" }`. This can also include any available Assembly variables.
