From looking in the documentation at https://elevenlabs.io/docs/api-reference/add-project
It looks like you need to include it in the "from_url" parameter.

from_url
string
An optional URL from which we will extract content to initialize the project. If this is set, 'from_url' must be null. If neither 'from_url' or 'from_document' are provided we will initialize the project as blank.

ElevenLabs
Add Project - ElevenLabs

Creates a new project, it can be either initialized as blank, from a document or from a URL.

I read the Document.Just wanted to know how to pass text file url in which parametere

#

I tried passing firesbase storage url. Its saying not able to read the content.

rugged briar
#

And if you have done that and got

{"detail":{"status":"invalid_url","message":"The URL 'https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/xxxxxxx/arabic.pdf?alt=media&token=dc91a0ee-2524-4d1b-9f94-065f9bb0e8a7' is either invalid or content cannot be extracted out of it."}}

The I assume there is some permission issue and the ElevenLabs APi cant access the data in the URL. I guess you'd have to try a different method. Or reach out to support at https://help.elevenlabs.io/hc/en-us/requests/new and see if they have a solution

#

or maybe @vale seal has some input

Yes

vale seal
#

that's what I was going to suggest trying, actually, a URL that doesn't require auth
hm

twin ingot
#

I tried it using Elevenlabs Website as well. Same issue there. Not sure how to pass text content file.

vale seal
#

interesting

twin ingot
#

They have another option to attach a file, which i tried and works fine. But API allows only URL passing

vale seal
#

let me see if I've got a pdf to try this with

twin ingot
#

Ok sure

rugged briar
#

@twin ingot How about a URL that contains a different format to see if the issue is confined just to pdf files? Try an .epub or .txt and see if it works

twin ingot
#

I tried for txt file as well, same issue. I tried contacting Support team, they havent reponded.

#

Does anyone here from Elevenlabs?

vale seal
#

that's actually what I was testing right now

#

txt works

#

pdf I cannot get to work no matter what URL I use

#

and that's using the same file host

twin ingot
#

Passing txt file URL?

vale seal
#

yes

twin ingot
#

do u have an example?

#

U tried using API or elevenlabs website?

vale seal
#

I am using the site as I do not have access to the API, but the site just calls the API so it should be the same

📎 dummy-txt.txt
twin ingot
#

Possible to share the request body from the API?

#

Did you attach a txt file?

#

Attaching file worked for me

#

I was referring to passing URL

vale seal
#

I did the following:
-Got a txt and a pdf file
-Tested uploading them directly to the site
-Tested uploading them to a third party file host and passing the URL

The TXT file works regardless of whether it's uploaded directly or put in as a URL.
The PDF file only works if it's uploaded directly.

#

so the problem seems to be specific to PDF files as URLs

#

since I used the same file host for both the txt and pdf urls, it shouldn't be a problem with that website

#

I'm gonna report this to elevenlabs proper since this screams bug

twin ingot
#

Ok i will try passing the txt url now

#

This url worked for me. Is there any problem if i pass Firebase txt file url?

#

Thanks @vale seal

vale seal
twin ingot
#

Ok sure, Btw there is no way we can pass plain text in the Project API right?

vale seal
#

you mean directly uploading a txt file?

twin ingot
#

No, passing the content as string

vale seal
#

Well, passing the content as a string, no

vale seal
#

the API does allow uploading files directly

#

without having to pass URLs

rugged briar
#

I was able to get a file from Google Drive "somewhat" imported. It at least read the file, it only found the title of the pdf but it was able to access it. I don't have time to play around much right now but it's "doable" at least..

twin ingot
#

Can i get sample code in javascript? I wasnt able to figure out how to pass local text file in the JS request

#

@vale seal @rugged briar I would appreciate your help

vale seal
twin ingot
#

I was able to fix it, by passing text content

#

Thank you so much
