Video

Uploading videos

Getting started

In order to send vidoes to the Video API, you can do so by sending a POST request to the https://api.fivemanage.com/api/video endpoint.

To upload video, simply submit a form with a form field called file with your video as value. As well as metadata.

Uploading a video


const axios = require('axios');
const fs = require('fs');
 
const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_TOKEN';
const url = 'https://api.fivemanage.com/api/video';
 
const formData = new FormData();
 
formData.append('file', yourVideoBlob);
// Optional metadata field (JSON string)
formData.append("metadata", JSON.stringify({
    name: 'My video',
    description: 'This is a video of something cool",
    // or any other field
}));
 
axios.post(url, formData, {
    headers: {
        Authorization: apiKey,
    }
}).then(res => {
    console.log(res.data.url);
}).catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
});

Response

Success


{
    "url": "https://r2.fivemanage.com/video/1234567890",
    "id": "0987654321"
}

Deleting a video

When we want to delete a video, we can do so by sending a DELETE request to the https://api.fivemanage.com/api/video/:id endpoint.

The :id parameter should be the ID of the video you want to delete. You can get the ID from the response when you upload a video (see above).


import axios from "axios";
 
const options = {
  method: 'DELETE',
  url: 'http://api.fivemanage.com/api/video/delete/0987654321',
  headers: {
    Authorization: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN'
  }
};
 
axios.request(options).then(function (response) {
  console.log(response.data);
}).catch(function (error) {
  console.error(error);
});
