# Import a video from a public HTTPS MP4 URL

> Downloads a single public HTTPS MP4, stages it for ingestion, and starts
the background video pipeline. Returns `202` while processing, or `200`
with `videoId` immediately when the organization already has the same video
(content duplicate).

Requires the `videos:write` scope. Subject to a stricter per-key rate limit
than generic public API routes (default 5 imports per hour per API key).

Poll `GET /v1/videos/import/{sessionId}` until `status` is `ready` or `failed`.
Use the returned `videoId` in Full Control campaign `creativeDirection.selectedCreatives`.




## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi/soundlink-public-api-v1.yaml post /v1/videos/import

    organizations.


    **Base URL:** `https://api.getsoundlink.com`


    **Authentication:** send a `sk_*` API key created in the Soundlink app
    (Settings → Developer → API keys) using one of:


    1. **`Authorization: Bearer` (recommended)**:
       ```
       Authorization: Bearer sk_abc123_<token>
       ```

    2. **`x-api-key` header (deprecated, retiring 2026-08-17)** — migrate to
    Bearer above before then:
       ```
       x-api-key: sk_abc123_<token>
       ```

    Sending both headers returns `401 mixed_credentials`.


    All responses are wrapped in a standard envelope:

    ```json

    { "data": <payload>, "meta": { "requestId": "<uuid>" } }

    ```


    Errors follow the same envelope shape with an `error` field instead of
    `data`.
