# Import media

POST https://fusara.ai/api/v3/media

Import one publicly reachable HTTP(S) media URL into your account and receive a reusable media_id. HTTPS is recommended. Accepts JSON with url, not multipart upload. Shared remote-media validation, supported formats and access rules apply. Imports have a 24-hour lifecycle; inspect url_expires_at when present. Pass the returned media_id in a supported input collection or pass a URL directly when creating a run. This operation does not generate media.

## Example request

```bash
curl 'https://fusara.ai/api/v3/media' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FUSARA_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{
  "url": "https://your-app.example/product.png"
}'
```

## Parameters


## Request body



- `url` (string, required): Public HTTP(S) media URL without credentials or fragments. Both the supplied and encoded URL must fit within 2048 characters. It must satisfy the shared remote-media access and format policy. Format: uri; Minimum length: 1; Maximum length: 2048.
