I have been combing through the AWS MTurk documentation for hours and it is of little to no help for getting started on MTurk.

I am trying to have people upload small vid based on a set of instructions that I will provide. I am on the requester sandbox and I see no way to integrate anything off of the API reference. I am trying to put a QuestionForm with an AnswerSpecification displaying a FileUploadAnswer. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSMechTurk/latest/AWSMturkAPI/ApiReference_QuestionFormDataStructureArticle.html

From there I'm also struggling to understand how I would use the GetFileUploadURL to provide myself with the link to download the video uploaded by the user to approve them of their task. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSMechTurk/latest/AWSMturkAPI/ApiReference_GetFileUploadURLOperation.html

Any insights?

You can only do file uploads via the Requester API, using the file upload question type. The QuestionForm documentation is decent, but the format is not necessarily intuitive - and being XML, is very strict.

An alternative would be to give workers some other way to send you the file, like Dropbox, etc.
