Examples

require 'brightcove-api'
=> true

brightcove = Brightcove::API.new('0Z2dtxTdJAxtbZ-d0U7Bhio2V1Rhr5Iafl5FFtDPY8E.')

response = brightcove.post('delete_video', {:video_id => '595153263001'})
=> {"result"=>{}, "id"=>nil, "error"=>nil}

If you want to perform a file upload, for example, to create a video, you can use the post_file() method.

response = brightcove.post_file('create_video', '/path/to/video.mov', :video => {:shortDescription => 'Short Description', :name => 'Video name'})
=> {"result"=>653155417001, "error=>nil, "id"=>nil}

If you want to perform a file upload using HTTP streaming, for example, to create a video, you can use the post_file_streaming() method.

response = brightcove.post_file_streaming('create_video', '/path/to/video.mov', 'video/quicktime', :video => {:shortDescription => 'Short Description', :name => 'Video name'})
=> {"result"=>653155417001, "error=>nil, "id"=>nil}

You can also use the post_io_streaming(api_method, file, content_type, parameters) method which takes an I/O handle instead of a filename.

You can now pass {:output => 'mrss'} in the get(...) method to return output in Media RSS format. Example:

response = brightcove.get('find_all_videos', {:output => 'mrss'})

Searching

To replicate one of the brightcove search API examples:

find all videos that have "football" and "Chicago" in the name, short description, or long description, and which also have the tag "free", and also have either the tag "color" or the tag "technicolor"

brightcove = Brightcove::API.new(...)
response = brightcove.get('search_videos', {
  :any => [ "tag:color", "tag:technicolor" ],
  :all => ["football", "chicago", "tag:free"]
})

Compatibility

The brightcove-api gem is built and tested under Ruby 2.2.1.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.
  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.
  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
