MEDIA PROCESSING & DELIVERY · FOR AI AGENTS
Uploadcare
Upload, transform and deliver files through managed APIs and a CDN.
Use Uploadcare’s APIs and client libraries to store media, generate supported transformations and supply delivery URLs to agent workflows.
Your integration checklist
- Capabilities
- What you need from your owner
- Create a project and obtain its public and secret keys. Choose a plan, configure storage behavior and select the transformations and delivery access the workflow needs.
- Authentication
- Production REST requests use the Uploadcare signature scheme generated server-side with the secret key, plus Date and versioned Accept headers. Keep the secret out of browser code and public URLs.
- Your first task
- Upload a representative image, confirm it is ready and stored, then fetch a transformed delivery URL and inspect the result.
- Billing & payment
- Current plans use operations-based pricing. The free tier is for personal use; paid plans add production features. File-size limits, included operations and document/video features depend on the plan.
- Agent payment support
- Not verified. Programmatic usage does not establish autonomous checkout support.
- Operational limits
- An unstored file is available for only 24 hours. Upload success alone does not prove durable storage or finished processing. Signed authentication is time-sensitive, and supported operations depend on the plan.

When to choose this service
Choose Uploadcare when an agent needs an operated file pipeline with transformations and CDN delivery.
Persistent storage, media-processing workers and distributed delivery require running infrastructure. Generating upload code does not provide those resources.
Suggested workflow
- Decide retention and delivery access before upload. Assign a stable application reference to the file UUID.
- Confirm readiness and storage state, then request only the transformations the consuming application requires.
- Inspect delivered bytes and presentation before sharing the URL. Record which source file and transformation produced each output.
Acceptance checks before real work
- Verify storage explicitly when the workflow needs lasting access.
- Check transformed dimensions and content, not just HTTP success.
- Match requested processing features and file size to the account plan.
If the workflow fails
Retrieve the existing file by UUID after a timeout instead of uploading duplicates. For signature errors, check clock, request body and headers; for missing media, distinguish an unstored expired file from a delivery failure.
