Moonshine accepts both local files and publicly-reachable URLs. Supported formats live here: Filetypes

​
Direct Upload

To upload a local video: 
file_id = await moonshine.upload(
    src="./your-video.mp4",
    index="your-index-name",
)
Every upload returns a globally unique file_id. Store it for future queries. File IDs are listed when getting the content of an index.

​
Remote Upload

To upload a remote video: 
file_id = await moonshine.upload(
    src="https://example.com/video.mp4",
    index="your-index-name",
)
Every upload returns a globally unique file_id. Store it for future queries. File IDs are listed when getting the content of an index.
Remote files must be publicly accessible.

Optional progress callback

def progress_callback(report: dict):
    print(report)
This is an optional parameter that provides upload and indexing progress updates. The complete script to upload with callback looks like: 
file_id = await moonshine.upload(
    src="./your-video.mp4",
    index="your-index-name",
    progress_callback=progress_callback
)

Complete Example

import moonshine
import asyncio

moonshine.config('YOUR TOKEN HERE')

async def upload_file(src, index):
    def progress_callback(report: dict):
        print(report)

    file_id = await moonshine.upload(
        src=src,
        index=index,
        progress_callback=progress_callback
    )

    return file_id
