Programatically add media to the media library

[cgarofalo]

Hi, I am looking import media into the media manager from an API source. There doesn't seem to be any documentation on how to programatically add media. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi, My package works only with local files and s3. Can you give me example, what you want. May be will do this :) If I understand correctly, you want upload files by remove url to the library?

Hi, Thanks for the quick response.

I'm using the ResourceSpace API. I can get the file paths from the API and I'm looking to save a copy of that file to the Media Library. Is that possible?

I figured something like

$media = new Media();
$media->save();

I feel like there's a way to do this?

Edit: I'm saving the files locally.

You want to do this? Media::upload($remote_url) I think I can do it. Maybe this week or next.

Yes! That would be fantastic. Could be a $remote_url or even a $path or $file. Basically feed it a file, and it gets saved to the Media Library. Thanks a bunch!

Now, If you have $file, you can use internal existing capabilities Post file to this route /nova-vendor/nova-media-library/upload

I did see that, but I kept getting a 500 error when I tried posting to that route. I must have been doing something wrong.

Added in 0.4.0
