using ApiVideo.Model;
Code sample
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System;
using System.IO;
using ApiVideo.Api;
using ApiVideo.Client;
using ApiVideo.Model;
namespace Example
{
public class Example
{
public static void Main()
{
var apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY";
var apiVideoClient = new ApiVideoClient(apiKey);
// if you rather like to use the sandbox environment:
// var apiVideoClient = new ApiVideoClient(apiKey, ApiVideo.Client.Environment.SANDBOX);
var videoPayload = new VideoCreationPayload()
{
title = "Example video title",
description = "Example video description",
mp4support = true,
tags = new List<string>()
{
"first","video","test","c#","client"
}
};
var myVideoFile = File.OpenRead("my-video.mp4");
try {
var newVideo = apiVideoClient.Videos().create(videoPayload);
var video = apiVideoClient.Videos().upload(newVideo.videoid,myVideoFile);
Console.WriteLine(video);
} catch (ApiException e) {
Console.WriteLine(e.ErrorCode);
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
Console.WriteLine(e.StackTrace);
}
}
}

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 apiVideoClient = new ApiVideoClient("YOUR_API_KEY");
Public endpoints
Some endpoints don't require authentication. These one can be called with an ApiVideoClient instantiated without API key:
ApiVideoClient apiVideoClient = new ApiVideoClient();
Recommendation
It's recommended to create an instance of ApiClient
per thread in a multithreaded environment to avoid any potential issues.
