# Upload a file (get an upload URL)

`POST /v1/studio/uploads`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://apihub.co.il`
- URL: `https://apihub.co.il/v1/studio/uploads`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

For files that are not online yet. Returns `upload_url` — PUT the file there with exactly the `Content-Type` you declared (and, if you sent `size_bytes`, exactly that many bytes), up to 2 GB for video and audio and 100 MB for images (`max_bytes` in the answer); a file sent without `size_bytes` is checked when you use it — over the limit it is refused (`413 upload_too_large`) and deleted; start within 15 minutes — and `url`, the public address to pass as `video_url` / `music_url` / `logo_url`. Media only (video, audio, JPEG/PNG/WebP/GIF). Uploads are deleted 24 hours after they are made.

**Billing:** Free — nothing is charged or reserved for an upload address · **Rate limit:** 60/min
