IngestManifestFile

  • Article

An IngestManifestFile represents an actual video or audio blob object that will be uploaded as part of bulk ingesting. For more information on bulk ingesting, see Ingesting Assets in Bulk with the REST API. An IngestManifestFile is always associated with an IngestManifest and an IngestManifestAsset.

This topic gives an overview of the IngestManifestFile entity and also demonstrates how to execute various operations with the Media Services REST API.

Important

When accessing entities in Media Services, you must set specific header fields and values in your HTTP requests.
For more information, see Setup for Media Services REST API Development and Connecting to Media Services with the Media Services REST API.
