How do I import a remote file into Uploadcare?
Short answer: You can upload from url in Uploadcare by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Uploadcare Upload from URL action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ
Questions about Upload from URL.
What does the Upload from URL action do in Uploadcare?
Asynchronously fetches a file from a URL and stores it in Uploadcare, returning a token to poll until done. Use for migrating remote media or for "import from URL" upload flows.
What inputs does Upload from URL require?
Required: Source URL. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Uploadcare returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Uploadcare returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Upload from URL support batch operations?
Run Upload from URL inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Uploadcare's rate limits.
