#### Step 1: Upload Media ( Not needed if using Mounted Buckets )
1. Use the Upload Media API to initiate the upload process.

3. The API returns a response containing:
* media\_upload\_url: URL for uploading the actual media content.
* media\_key: Unique identifier associated with the uploaded media.
#### Step 2: Upload Media Data ( Not needed if using Mounted Buckets )
1. Prepare the media file for upload.

3. The API returns a response containing:
