Create a new asset and upload a file. For parent_asset_id you must have the root asset ID for the project, or an ID for a folder in the project. For more information on how assets work, check out our docs.

import os
from frameioclient import FrameioClient

client = FrameioClient("TOKEN")


# Create a new asset manually
asset = client.assets.create(
  parent_asset_id="1234abcd",
  name="MyVideo.mp4",
  type="file",
  filetype="video/mp4",
  filesize=os.path.getsize("sample.mp4")
)

# Create a new folder
client.assets.create(
  parent_asset_id="",
  name="Folder name",
  type="folder" # this kwarg is what makes it a folder
)

# Upload a file 
client.assets.upload(destination_id, "video.mp4")
