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 !")
