From Asset Folder To 39 Products: Four Python Scripts For Metadata, Packaging And Upload Tracking
I still have the rejection email open in a tab. Adobe Stock bounced 40 of my first 50 uploads in one batch. The reason was not the art. It was a CSV header with four columns where their uploader expects five. Vecteezy wants four columns. Dreamstime wants fifteen. I had written one CSV and assumed the rest.

Adobe Stock rejected 40 of the author's initial 50 uploads due to a CSV header with four columns instead of the required five. The author experienced a week of re-uploading and nearly got flagged when re-running the batch, causing duplicate submissions. To prevent this, the author created four Python scripts: make_metadata.py for generating platform-specific headers, upload_tracker.py for tracking submission status, md2pdf.py for converting Markdown files to styled PDFs, and pack_product.py for zipping and thumbnailing product files.
These scripts, running on a small server with limited resources, helped the author successfully submit 39 products, totaling 856 MB of output. The author emphasizes the importance of proper folder organization and maintaining research logs for future reference.
