Make API Requests
更新时间：2024-01-15 15:06:28
This section provides information on how to structure and initiate a media processing API call. Before proceeding, please ensure that the media processing service is enabled and that the correct pair of AccessKey and AccessKey Secret for the active account is available.
Request Structure
Request Method
Currently, only POST method is supported for the media processing requests.
Request URI
The request URI should be structured as follows:
http://<API Address>/<Resource-path>
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Communication Protocol | Currently, requests can only be sent using HTTP. |
| API Address | Also known as the Manage Domain on Object Storage, this can be found at Object Storage > Bucket > Overview > Manage Domain on console. |
| Resource-path | Unless otherwise specified, the resource path should remain as fops. |
Example URI
Request Header
Every request must include authentication information to validate the requester’s identity. This should be included in the request header Authorization which comprises AccessKey and EncodeSign:
//Authorization is the request header name
Authorization:<AccessKey>:<EncodeSign>
For details on generating the token, please refer to the Authentication.
Request Body
The API requires a request body, specifying the bucket and file to be processed and the type of processing needed.
Structure the request body as follows:
bucket=[Bucket]&key=[Key]&fops=[Fops]¬ifyURL=[NotifyURL]&force=[Force]&separate=[Separate]
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| bucket | Yes | Name of the bucket containing target file for processing in Object Storage. |
| key | Yes | The name of the file to be processed. |
| fops | Yes | The fops parameter indicates the type of media processing you wish to perform on your videos or audios. You should tailor your fops according to the specific processing required. For detailed instructions on structuring fops for different tasks, please refer to the following sections: Transcoding, Transmuxing, Video Encryption, Intelligent Transcoding and Editing. |
| notifyURL | No | Also known as the callback address. When a media processing task fails or completes, a notification is sent to this address. The notifyURL should be URL safe base64 encoded when included in the request body. For more details about callbacks, refer to Callback Notification. |
| force | No | Specifies whether to overwrite existing files. This is useful to avoid unnecessary processing if the file has already been processed. 0 - Not to overwrite if the target file already exists. 1 - Still process the file and overwrite even if the target file exists. The default value is 0. |
| separate | No | Notification method: 0 - Sends a notification to your callback server only after all processing tasks are complete. 1 - Sends notifications to your callback server separately. The default value is 0. |
