Upload Files to the qiyaov Platform CDN

Upload local files to the qiyaov platform CDN to obtain a publicly accessible URL (in the style of https://cdn.acedata.cloud/xxxxxx.png), which can be immediately referenced in parameters such as image_url, reference_url, etc. of other business APIs (such as Midjourney, Suno, Flux).

Applicable scenarios:

  • Upload a reference image to the CDN to obtain a URL before calling Midjourney /midjourney/imagine.
  • Cache the video generated in the previous step for use as input in the next step.
  • Temporarily host materials uploaded by users, avoiding the need to build your own S3.

ℹ️ This API is an qiyaov platform management API, with the unified prefix https://api17.platform.acedata.cloud/api/v1/.

Request Examples

cURL

curl -X POST 'https://api17.platform.acedata.cloud/api/v1/files/' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H "authorization: Bearer ${PLATFORM_TOKEN}" \
  -F 'file=@./photo.jpg'

Python

import os
import requests

PLATFORM_TOKEN = os.environ["PLATFORM_TOKEN"]

with open("photo.jpg", "rb") as f:
    resp = requests.post(
        "https://api17.platform.acedata.cloud/api/v1/files/",
        headers={
            "accept": "application/json",
            "authorization": f"Bearer {PLATFORM_TOKEN}",
        },
        files={"file": ("photo.jpg", f, "image/jpeg")},
        timeout=60,
    )

data = resp.json()
print(f"✅ Upload successful: {data['file_url']}")
# Directly use it in other business APIs:
# requests.post("https://api.qiyaov.com/midjourney/imagine",
#     json={"prompt": "...", "image_urls": [data["file_url"]]}, ...)

Node.js

const fs = require('fs')
const FormData = require('form-data')

const form = new FormData()
form.append('file', fs.createReadStream('./photo.jpg'))

const r = await fetch('https://api17.platform.acedata.cloud/api/v1/files/', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.PLATFORM_TOKEN}`,
    ...form.getHeaders(),
  },
  body: form,
})
const data = await r.json()
console.log('CDN URL:', data.file_url)

Response Example (HTTP 200)

{
  "file_url": "https://cdn.acedata.cloud/qrd7gw.jpg"
}

Simply use the file_url field in other business APIs—the CDN URL is currently publicly accessible and does not require authentication; do not treat it as a permanent archival guarantee.

Response Field Description

Field Type Description
file_url string CDN access URL

Error Handling

HTTP Response Example Meaning
400 {"error":"No file provided"} The file field was not attached or the field name is incorrect
401 DRF authentication error response Missing or invalid account token
413 {"error":"File too large","max_bytes":...} The file exceeds 100 MB (default)

Practical Tips

  • Upload images as reference images: Midjourney image_urls, Flux image_url, and Veo reference_url all accept CDN URLs, and do not accept base64. Obtaining a URL through this API first is standard practice.
  • Do not upload sensitive data: The returned URL is publicly accessible; the retention period is subject to the platform's current storage policy. For long-term archiving, use your own object storage.
  • Bulk uploads: Control concurrency and set a timeout for each upload; throughput depends on file size and network environment.
