api.video Java API client

api.video is the video infrastructure for product builders. Lightning fast video APIs for integrating, scaling, and managing on-demand & low latency live streaming features in your app.

Project description

api.video's Java API client streamlines the coding process. Chunking files is handled for you, as is pagination and refreshing your tokens.

Getting started

Requirements

Building the API client library requires:

  1. Java 1.8+
  2. Maven/Gradle

Installation

Maven users

Add this dependency to your project's POM:

<dependency>
  <groupId>video.api</groupId>
  <artifactId>java-api-client</artifactId>
  <version>1.3.1</version>
  <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

Gradle users

Add this dependency to your project's build file:

implementation "video.api:java-api-client:1.3.1"

Others

At first generate the JAR by executing:

mvn clean package

Then manually install the following JARs:

  • target/java-api-client-1.3.1.jar
  • target/lib/*.jar

Code sample

Please follow the installation instruction and execute the following Java code:


import video.api.client.ApiVideoClient;
import video.api.client.api.ApiException;
import video.api.client.api.models.*;

public class Example {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    ApiVideoClient apiVideoClient = new ApiVideoClient("YOUR_API_KEY");
    // if you rather like to use the sandbox environment:
    // ApiVideoClient apiVideoClient = new ApiVideoClient("YOU_SANDBOX_API_KEY", Environment.SANDBOX);

    File myVideoFile = new File("my-video.mp4");

    try {
        Video video = apiVideoClient.videos().create(new VideoCreationPayload().title("my video"));
        video = apiVideoClient.videos().upload(video.getVideoId(), myVideoFile);
        System.out.println(video);
    } catch (ApiException e) {
        System.err.println("Exception when calling AccountApi#get");
        System.err.println("Status code: " + e.getCode());
        System.err.println("Reason: " + e.getMessage());
        System.err.println("Response headers: " + e.getResponseHeaders());
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

Documentation for Models

Documentation for Authorization

API key

Most endpoints required to be authenticated using the API key mechanism described in our documentation. The access token generation mechanism is automatically handled by the client. All you have to do is provide an API key when instantiating the ApiVideoClient:

ApiVideoClient client = new ApiVideoClient("YOUR_API_KEY");

Public endpoints

Some endpoints don't require authentication. These one can be called with a client instantiated without API key:

ApiVideoClient client = new ApiVideoClient();

Recommendation

It's recommended to create an instance of ApiClient per thread in a multithreaded environment to avoid any potential issues.
