bitmovin

New API Client (Recommended)

bitmovin-python is the legacy Bitmovin API client for Python.

We recommend using the new client, which you can find at bitmovin-api-sdk-python. Using the new client guarantees 100% specification conformity at any given time and access to all features of the API as soon as they are released.


bitmovin-python

Python3-Client which enables you to seamlessly integrate the Bitmovin API into your projects. Using this API client requires an active account. Sign up for a Bitmovin API key.

The full Bitmovin API reference can be found on our website.

Installation

PIP

To install the bitmovin client with pip, run the following command:

pip install git+https://github.com/bitmovin/[email protected]

Depending on the platform which you are using your default python version may be python2.7. As this is a python3 client (Python 3.4+) you will need to install python3 and the corresponding pip tool to ensure that you can install and use this software.

If you have a Ubuntu or Debian system, you can install the mentioned packages using the following commands:

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip

Depending on your distribution it could be that the pip tool uses the python2 interpreter so you maybe have one pip3 executable instead.

Example

The following example creates a simple encoding job with a DASH manifest and transfers it to a S3 output location (create_simple_encoding.py):
