How it works

  • Step 1

    Prepare an upload account

    Create a storage group with an upload account that has the NetStorage HTTP CMS API access method turned on. Note your HTTP hostname and CP code.

  • Step 2

    Add credentials in your dashboard

    Once the integration is on for your account, open Integrations, choose Akamai NetStorage and enter your credentials.

  • Step 3

    Add the destination

    Set the akamai-netstorage destination in the render output, or at the root of an ingest request, with your host and CP code.

One parameter in your render

Add destinations to the output of a render. When the video is ready, Shotstack sends it to the directory and filename you set.

{
  "output": {
    "format": "mp4",
    "destinations": [{
      "provider": "akamai-netstorage",
      "options": {
        "host": "example-nsu.akamaihd.net",
        "cpCode": "123456",
        "path": "videos",
        "filename": "my-video"
      }
    }]
  }
}

What you can do with Akamai NetStorage

  • Your own directory and filename

    Set path and filename to choose where each file lands in your upload directory.

  • Ingested files too

    Source files and renditions from the Ingest API use the same destination.

  • Only Akamai

    Add the Shotstack destination with "exclude": true and the file goes to NetStorage without being hosted by Shotstack.
