The path of the file to upload. All file upload options are listed [here](https://cloudinary.com/documentation/upload_images#file_source_options)

The identifier that is used for accessing the uploaded resource (ie. "filename"). A randomly generated ID is assigned if left blank. The Public ID may contain a full path including folders separated by a slash (/).
Note: The public ID value for images and videos should not include a file extension. Include the file extension for raw files only.

An optional folder name where the uploaded resource will be stored. The Public ID contains the full path of the uploaded resource, including the folder name.

A list of tag names to assign to the uploaded resource for later group reference.

The unique identifier (or "file name") of the resource, including the [folder structure](https://cloudinary.com/documentation/upload_images#public_id_the_image_identifier), if defined.

Enter your raw transformations string (e.g., `w_200,h_200,c_fill`) or leave empty to just generate a sharable URL. See [our documentation](http://cloudinary.com/documentation/image_transformations) for more information.

The identifier of the uploaded image.
Note: The public ID value for images and resources should not include a file exension. Include the file extension for raw files only.

The type of file to destroy. Valid values: `image`, `raw`, and `video`.
Note: Use the video resource type for all video resources as well as for audio files, such as `.mp3`.

If true, invalidates CDN cached copies of the image (and all its transformed versions).
Note that it usually takes a few minutes (although it might take up to an hour) for the invalidation to fully propagate through the CDN. There are also a number of other [important considerations](http://cloudinary.com/documentation/upload_images#invalidating_cached_images_on_the_cdn) when using the invalidate functionality.

The current identifier of the uploaded image.

The new identifier to assign to the uploaded image.

The type of file to rename. Only relevant as a parameter when using the SDKs (the resource type is included in the endpoint URL for direct calls to the API).
**Note**: Use the `video` resource type for all video resources as well as for audio files, such as `.mp3`.

The specific type of the resource. Only relevant as a parameter when using the SDKs (the type is included in the endpoint URL for direct calls to the API). Valid values: `upload`, `private` and `authenticated`.

The new type for the resource. Valid values: `upload`, `private` and `authenticated`. Default: the type remains the same as before.

Whether to overwrite an existing resource with the target Public ID. Default: `false`.

Whether to invalidate CDN cached copies of the image (and all its transformed versions). Default: `false`.
Note that it usually takes a few minutes (although it might take up to an hour) for the invalidation to fully propagate through the CDN. There are also a number of other important considerations when using the invalidate functionality.

The path of the file to upload. All file upload options are listed [here](https://cloudinary.com/documentation/upload_images#file_source_options).

Whether to invalidate CDN cached copies of a previously uploaded resource (and all transformed versions that share the same Public ID). Default: `no`.
There are also a number of other [important considerations](http://cloudinary.com/documentation/upload_images#invalidating_cached_images_on_the_cdn) when using the invalidate functionality.

Whether to return IPTC, XMP, and detailed Exif metadata of the uploaded resource in the response.
Relevant for images only. Default: `no`.

Whether to return the coordinates of faces contained in an uploaded image (automatically detected or manually defined). Each face is specified by the X & Y coordinates of the top left corner and the width & height of the face.
Default: `no`. Relevant for images only.

Whether to retrieve predominant colors & color histogram of the uploaded image.
**Note:** If all returned colors are opaque, then 6-digit RGB hex values are returned. If one or more colors contain an alpha channel, then 8-digit RGBA hex quadruplet values are returned.
Default: `no`. Relevant for images only.

Whether to return the perceptual hash (pHash) on the uploaded image. The pHash acts as a fingerprint that allows checking image similarity.
Default: `no`. Relevant for images only.

Tell Cloudinary whether to backup the uploaded resource. Overrides the default backup settings of your account.

Moderate images using manual moderation or use one of the automatic moderation Add-ons. For more information [click here](https://cloudinary.com/blog/tag/Moderation).
