Need to create several flavours of the same file? Not a problem. Upload your main source clip via API, and within the same call, just add in another <format> tag. The best part about this workflow is that you don't have to upload the same source media clip twice, allowing you to cost effectively encode your content.
In lieu of making things simple to understand, we left out the body of the format tags and illustrated how to call for multiple format requests:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <query> <!-- Main fields --> <userid>[UserID]</userid> <userkey>[UserKey]</userkey> <action>[Action]</action> <source>[SourceFile]</source> <notify>[NotifyURL]</notify> <!-- Format fields --> <format> <!-- add 1st encode request here, please refer to docs for more info on format tags --> </format> <format> <!--add 2nd encode request here --> </format> </query>
