Importing media into Avalon via API Key¶

How to upload transcripts and pdfs of media already hosted on Avalon.

Download relevant repository¶

In the terminal, enter pyavalon get_file_ids_from_a_collection -c "{id of the collection}" -i {pre or prod}.

This will generate an output .csv with the following columns: “id”, “label”, “parent label”, and “derivative”.

Create an input.csv with four columns: id, filename, label, and type.

id should be the same as the id in the previous output.csv
filename should be a filepath starting with /Users.
label is the name you want the file to appear with when it’s online. It is recommended for the label to be “Captions in English” or “Transcript in English”.
type can only be captions, transcript, or pdf.

In the terminal, enter pyavalon upload-supplemental-files -i {pre or prod} -c "{path to .csv file}".
