Manage images

​

Introduction

Images are a key part of any OTT platform. Motto provides a simple way to manage images in your project, and to serve them back to your users affordably and efficiently, so that you do not need a third-party image integration.

​

Uploading images

You can get started using the Motto Studio, which we recommend for non-technical users. Alternatively, you may get started by using the Motto API.

Via the Studio

Image uploads in the Studio are a part of the creation of event, creative works or entities. When opening the creation sidebar, you can upload a thumbnail or poster for your event or creative work, or logo for your entity.

Via the API

If you prefer using the Studio API to interact with the Motto platform, you can follow the following steps to achieve the same result as described in the “Via the Studio” section.

1. Create an asset upload session (e.g. mp4 file)
2. Upload your file to the signed_url provided in the response from step 1.
3. (Optionally) associate your asset with an event, creative work or entity by using the reserved_asset_id from step 2.

​

Downloading images

Images can be downloaded from Motto easily and affordably. When you have an asset ID of the image you want to download, you can construct a download URL for your image using the following pattern (remove the < and > characters)

https://assets.mottocdn.com/images/<project_id>/<asset_id>

You can find your project_id using the instructions here.

​

Image resizing

If you are interested in serving your images in different sizes, you can use the following pattern to resize your images:

https://assets.mottocdn.com/images/<project_id>/<asset_id>?w=<width>&h=<height>

(you may also provide only a width or height, and the image will be resized proportionally).
