Hi, I’m trying to use this feature of Transloadit ([https://transloadit.com/services/file-importing/http-import/](https://transloadit.com/services/file-importing/http-import/)) with uppy, but uppy seems to require an uppy-server to handle remote Urls ([https://uppy.io/docs/server/](https://uppy.io/docs/server/)). Isn’t there another way? Thanks a lot, Víctor ---

Hi Víctor! Indeed, the Url import in Uppy is a separate feature—it does not currently work together with the Transloadit API. We’re starting to provide a hosted uppy-server that can be used by customers to upload to Transloadit, though; currently in early beta but you’re very welcome to try it out. It’s already in use in the Transloadit example on the [Uppy website](https://uppy.io/examples/transloadit/). You can use it by setting the `host` option to [https://api2.transloadit.com/uppy-server/](https://api2.transloadit.com/uppy-server/). ```auto uppy.use(Url, { host: 'https://api2.transloadit.com/uppy-server/' }) ``` These servers are configured to only allow uploads to Transloadit assemblies. So, there’s not really a way around using uppy-server in this case, but you don’t necessarily have to do the setup work yourself. 🙂 Hope that helps! ---

Wow, that was very helpful, thanks a lot! It works perfectly. I think there is a bug when using uppy.addFile with the Url plugin, I’ll open an issue in Github tomorrow just in case (I’m not entirely sure!). Thanks again! Víctor ---

Hi! This seems to be resolved now, right? ---

Hey there, Sorry to bother. Suddenly the transloadit uppy-server stopped working, and we got this error a couple of times: `Failed to load https://api2.transloadit.com/uppy-server/url/meta: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin '***' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 503. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.` Are we missing any info we need to send? ---

this seems to have been a temporary downtime of the server due to service upgrade. Do you mind trying again to confirm if it now works? ---

Yeah, it’s working now. Thanks a lot! ---

Thanks for reporting and sorry about the trouble!
