Upload videos longer than 140s for Media Studio partners

[jadudam]

According to the Media Studio documentation (https://business.twitter.com/fr/help/troubleshooting/media-studio-faqs.html), partner accounts can upload videos longer than 140 seconds (up to 10 minutes).

• Is there a way to check with the REST API if a user is a Media Studio partner ?
• using a Media Partner partner account, is it possible to upload a 10 minute video with Media API (chunked upload on https://upload.twitter.com/1.1/media/upload.json) ?

Thanks

+1. I have a Media Studio account that has access to 10-minute videos (and I have sent a few on the desktop with almost that duration) but in the API there’s no way I can send videos over 140 seconds.
Maybe there’s a different REST API for Media Studio? Or some undocumented media/upload parameters?

Here is some context on this subject:

Announcement: Uploading long videos

In order to respect content ownership rights, we will be closing a loophole that allowed any user to upload long videos (greater than 140 seconds in length) using the POST media/upload endpoint. This will take effect on 2017-09-29. Once this change is in place, videos will either succeed or fail on upload (after the FINALIZE step), based on whether or not the user has been granted access to upload long videos. For users who have not been granted access, the following error will be returned from…

What is a “long video”? My user has access to 10-minute video and still media/upload doesn’t accept videos with more than 140 seconds.
I think there’s a bug in the documentation or in the media/upload implementation.

Cutting to the chase: is there any way to upload long videos (>140 sec) automatically?

I believe the answer here is setting the media_category value to amplify_video. Can you try that and let us know if it works?

Additionally, for reference I’d recommend taking a look at our uploading media tutorial as well.

Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, amplify_video did work, many thanks.
This information should be on the media/upload documentation, imho.
