Getting Started

The first thing you'll need to interact with the SproutVideo API is your API key.

Videos

The following methods are available: list_videos, get_video, create_video, update_video, replace_video, delete_video.

list_videos

By default the videos listing is paginated with 25 videos per page and sorted by upload date in ascending order. You can pass two parameters to control the paging: page and per_page. You can also pass in the id of a tag to just return the videos tagged with that tag.

get_video

The string passed to get_video is the ID of a SproutVideo video.

create_video

The most basic upload you can perform is to just pass the path to the video file to the method. The title of the video will default to the name of the file.

You can set the title as well as many other parameters by passing them as a array

You can also apply any number of tags to the new upload by passing their ids along:

You can also create and apply tags on the fly when uploading by passing along tag names:

You can also specify a webhook url. We'll send an HTTP POST with the video json when the video has finished processing or if there was an error during processing:

Lastly, if you are using the source_video_url parameter instead of uploading a file directly, use the following syntax:

update_video

The first parameter is the id of the video you wish to edit. The second parameter is a array of attributes to update on the video.

replace_video

The first parameter is the id of the video you wish to replace. The second parameter is the local path to the video file.

Tags

To add a tag to a video, make sure to include all of the tags currently associated with the video. For instance, if the video already has tags with the ids "abc" and "123", and you want to add a tag with the id "def", pass "abc", "123" and "def" to the update method.

If you want to remove a tag from a video, remove the tag from the list of tags on the video but make sure to include all of the tags you wish to keep. For instance, if you now want to remove the tag with id "123" from the example above, pass in "abc" and "def"

You can remove all of the tags from a video by just passing an empty array as the tags parameter.

Upload poster frame
