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

Getting started

Requirements

Python >= 3.6

Installation

pip install api.video

Code samples

Automatic authentication

list all videos:

import apivideo
from apivideo.apis import VideosApi

api_key = "__API_KEY__"

with apivideo.AuthenticatedApiClient(api_key) as client:
    # if you rather like to use the sandbox environment:
    # with apivideo.AuthenticatedApiClient(api_key, production=False) as client:

    videos_api = VideosApi(client)
    videos = videos_api.list()

In this context the client will keep its authentication updated.

Manual authentication

If there is an issue, like you think a refresh token may have been exposed, you can manually retrieve a new one. Otherwise, authentication is handled for you. When you retrieve a new refresh token, the old one becomes invalid. Here is the code, where you retrieve a list of videos and then refresh your token:

import apivideo
from apivideo.apis import VideosApi
from apivideo.exceptions import ApiAuthException

api_key = "__API_KEY__"

client = apivideo.AuthenticatedApiClient(api_key)
# if you rather like to use the sandbox environment:
# client = apivideo.AuthenticatedApiClient(api_key, production=False)
client.connect()
videos_api = VideosApi(client)
videos = videos_api.list()

try:
    client.refresh_token()
except ApiAuthException:
    print("cannot refresh token !")
