# Create an upload link (https://docs.propertypixel.app/api/uploads/create_upload_link)

Create a private link (with a QR code) the user opens on their phone or computer to add photos to a project, with no login. Use it when the user needs to send photos you can't receive directly, such as photos on their phone. Share the url, or show the QR code, and tell the user the link works for 2 hours. Photos appear in the project as they upload. To follow progress, call get_project and read upload_link.status and upload_link.photos_received until status is done (the user tapped Done), or simply ask the user to tell you when they've finished.

Requires a connection with edit access.
