Developers

Connect your own systems with API keys, scopes, uploads, and the public API reference

  1. Intermediate, 5 min

    Authenticating with an API Key

    Create an organization API key, send it in the x-api-key header, and understand what a key can and cannot do.

  2. Intermediate, 6 min

    API Key Scopes

    Every scope an API key can hold, what it unlocks, and the rule that scopes only ever narrow what the key's creator can do.

  3. Advanced, 10 min

    Uploading Files Through the API

    The three-step upload protocol: presign, PUT the bytes to storage, then complete. Limits, conflicts, and how to retry.

  4. Intermediate, 6 min

    Errors, Pagination, and Limits

    The error envelope, every status code the API returns, why 404 means 'not visible to this key', pagination, and rate limits.

  5. Beginner, 3 min

    API Changelog and Compatibility

    What ReelStorage promises about API v1, what counts as a breaking change, and a dated record of what has shipped.

Start with one title. Upload a shoot, bring its metadata in from a CSV, and confirm the cast. Then decide.
