#SproutVideo Use this gem to interact with the SproutVideo API

First, you'll need to install the gem

gem install sproutvideo-rb

The first thing you'll need to interact with the SproutVideo API is your API key. You can use your API key in one of two ways. The first and easiest is to set it and forget it on the Sproutvideo module like so:

Sproutvideo.api_key = 'abcd1234'

Alternatively, you can use an environment variable:

ENV['SPROUTVIDEO_API_KEY'] = 'abcd1234'

The following methods are available: list, create, details, update, upload_poster_frame,destroy.

##list 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.

Sproutvideo::Video.list
Sproutvideo::Video.list(:per_page => 10)
Sproutvideo::Video.list(:per_page => 10, :page => 2)

You can control sorting order by order_by and order_dir parameter.

Sproutvideo::Video.list(:order_by => "created_at")
Sproutvideo::Video.list(:order_by => "updated_at")
Sproutvideo::Video.list(:order_by => "title", :order_dir => "asc")
Sproutvideo::Video.list(:order_by => "duration", :order_dir => "desc")

You can also pass tag_id, tag_name, privacy and state parameters to restrict result.

Sproutvideo::Video.list(:tag_id => 'a323d32')
Sproutvideo::Video.list(:tag_name => 'funny cat videos')
Sproutvideo::Video.list(:privacy => 2)
Sproutvideo::Video.list(:state => "processing")

Values of privacy is listed at Video Privacy section. Values of state is listed at Video States section.

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

Sproutvideo::Video.details('abc123')

##create 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.

Sproutvideo::Video.create('/path/to/video.mp4')

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

Sproutvideo::Video.create('/path/to/video.mp4',
  :title => 'My Awesome Video',
  :description => 'This video is great',
  :privacy => 2)

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

Sproutvideo::Video.create('/path/to/video.mp4',
  :tags => ['ec61', 'abc123'])

You can also create or add tags on the fly by passing in tag names:

Sproutvideo::Video.create('/path/to/video.mp4',
  :tag_names => ['Tag One', 'Tag Two'])

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:

Sproutvideo::Video.create('/path/to/video.mp4',
  :notification_url => 'http://example.com/webhook_url')

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

Sproutvideo::Video.update('abc123', :title => 'Updated Title')

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" do pass "abc", "123" and "def" to the update method.

Sproutvideo::Video.update('abc123',
  :tags => ["abc", "123", "def"])

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"

Sproutvideo::Video.update("abc123",
  :tags => ["abc","def"])

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

Sproutvideo::Video.update('abc123', :tags => [])

##Upload poster frame You can upload a custom poster frame for a video by calling the upload_poster_frame method. The first parameter is the id of the video for wish you'd like the poster frame to be associated and the second parameter is the path to the image file.

SproutVideo::Video.upload_poster_frame('abc123', '/path/to/image.jpg')

##destroy Pass in the id of the video you wish to delete.

Sproutvideo::Video.destroy('abc123')

##Signed Embed Codes You can use this convenience method to sign an embed code. It will return the embed code URL which can be used to build an iframe embed code. Sproutvideo::Video.signed_embed_code(video_id, security_token, query_parameters, expiration_time, protocol)

###Parameters video_id - String (Required) : The id of the video for which you're generating the signed embed code

security_token - String (Required) : The security token of the video for which you're generatingn the signed embed code

query_parameteres - Hash (Optional) : A hash of query parameters to be passed to the embed code. Example: {'type' => 'hd', 'autoplay' => true}

expiration_time - Integer (Optional) : The number of seconds from the Epoc that this signed embed code should expire. This defaults to 5 minutes from the time the signed embed code was generated.

protocol - String (Optional) : http or https. Defaults to http

###Examples

Sproutvideo::Video.signed_embed_code('abc123','def456') #sign a base embed code with no other options
Sproutvideo::Video.signed_embed_code('abc123','def456', {'type' => 'hd'}) #set parameters for the embed code such as changing the default video type to HD
Sproutvideo::Video.signed_embed_code('abc123','def456', {}, 1368127991) #set a specific expiration time for the signed embed code. (By default the expiration time is set to 5 minutes from the time the signed embed code was generated).
Sproutvideo::Video.signed_embed_code('abc123','def456', {}, nil, 'https') #Use https instead of http

The following methods are available: create

Sproutvideo::UploadToken.create

• Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet.
• Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it.
• Fork the project.
• Start a feature/bugfix branch.
• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
