Models

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:

const client = new ApiVideoClient({ apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY" });

Get the access token

If you need to access the access-token value obtained using the API key, you can use the getAccessToken() method of the client:

const client = new ApiVideoClient({ apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY" });
const accessToken = await client.getAccessToken();

Public endpoints

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

const client = new ApiVideoClient();
