Installation

composer require api-video/php-sdk

Quick start

<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

// Authenticate in production environment
$client = ApiVideo\Client\Client::create('yourProductionApiKey');


// Alternatively, authenticate in sandbox environment for testing
$client = ApiVideo\Client\Client::createSandbox('yourSandboxApiKey');

// Create and upload a video resource from local drive
$video = $client->videos->upload(
    '/path/to/video.mp4', 
    array('title' => 'Course #4 - Part B')
);

// Display embed code
echo $video->assets['iframe'];
// <iframe src="https://embed.api.video/vod/viXXX" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

);

// Update video properties
$client->videos->update(
    $video->videoId, 
    array(
        'tags' => array('course', 'economics', 'finance')
    )

        'tags' => array('finance')
    )
);

foreach ($videos  as $video) {
    echo $video->title."\n";
}

// Delete video resource
$client->videos->delete($video->videoId);


// Upload a video thumbnail
$client->videos->uploadThumbnail('/path/to/thumbnail.jpg', $video->videoId);
