Rails asset administration

While using Cloudinary, all your images, videos, and other raw files are uploaded to your Cloudinary account. You can use our Media Library web interface to browse through and manage your uploaded media assets and generated transformations. In addition, you can use methods from the Upload and Admin APIs, which offer methods for managing, organizing, and creating media assets.

  • Upload API methods can be used as needed.
  • Admin API methods are rate-limited.
    You can view the number of hourly Admin API requests allowed by your account plan in the Account page of your console settings.
