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.

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

Rate Limiting

api.video implements rate limiting to ensure fair usage and stability of the service. The API provides the rate limit values in the response headers for any API requests you make. The /auth endpoint is the only route without rate limitation.

In this client, you can access these headers by using the *WithHttpInfo() or *Async versions of the methods. These methods return the ApiResponse that contains the response body and the headers, allowing you to check the X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Retry-After headers to understand your current rate limit status. Read more about these response headers in the API reference.

Here is an example of how to use these methods:

ApiVideoClient client = new ApiVideoClient("YOUR_API_KEY");
ApiResponse<Video> response = client.videos().uploadWithUploadTokenWithHttpInfo("YOUR_UPLOAD_TOKEN", File("my-video.mp4"));
Map<String, List<String>> headers = response.getHeaders();
System.out.println("X-RateLimit-Limit: " + headers.get("X-RateLimit-Limit").get(0));
System.out.println("X-RateLimit-Remaining: " + headers.get("X-RateLimit-Remaining").get(0));
System.out.println("X-RateLimit-Retry-After: " + headers.get("X-RateLimit-Retry-After").get(0));

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.
