The old API had functionality to pull a file from a given URL instead of uploading it, I am wondering if there are any plans to implement that as well in the new API
To close the loop on this, there are not currently any plans to support this functionality. In looking at the old API as we were re-implementing for our new API strategy, we focused on the complexity of the API system, and decided that in order to make the system more stable, we wanted to reduce the complexity of the server implementation as much as possible. By not having the server go retrieve the content, and instead always using content that has been pushed to us instead, we have significantly reduced the complexity of the code, which will provide a better overall experience for all developers.
