Flowplayer OVP API v3 (3.0.0)

Download OpenAPI specification:Download

Introduction

This API allows integration of your backend (like content management or publishing systems) with the Flowplayer platform for managing video and livestream assets. It can be used to fetch, list, create, update and delete Livestreams, Live Sources, Playlists, Categories and Videos.

Authentication

All API requests need to be authenticated by providing the API keys as an header, x-flowplayer-api-key.

Rate limits

Every API request has a rate limit, applied per the organization the x-flowplayer-api-key is part of. This means that for the same organization there is a limited number of requests per second that can be done. By default, every organization can perform 1 request/second of every API. Enterprise organizations can do up to 3 requests/second of every API.

If your organization triggers this rate limit, you'll receive the response status code 429 - Too Many Requests with a response body { "message" : "Too Many Requests"}.

Requesting the API

Base url for the API is:

https://api.flowplayer.com/platform/v3/

Endpoint structure

Each asset type has its own path and endpoint in the API with the following structure:

Asset type Path
Livestreams /livestreams
Live Sources /livesources
Playlists /playlists
Category /categories
Video /videos

Content type

This API only supports JSON-format output.

Sample request

A sample request for listing livestreams using the API.

 curl https://api.flowplayer.com/platform/v3/livestreams \
 -H "x-flowplayer-api-key: {my-api-key}" \
 -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Category

Categories can be used to categorize videos and livestreams within a workspace and are useful for creating automatic playlists and recommendations.

Categories are organized as a hierarchical tree structure. A video/livestream belongs to one single category.

Live Source

Live sources greatly simplifies livestreaming for those doing a lot of livestreaming and is a unique feature to Flowplayer.

What is live sources

A Live source is a fixed stream name which may be re-used for multiple broadcasts.

Why live sources

We invented the concept of live sources to simplify the process and reduce the errors in livestreaming setup. We do this by allowing you to re-use the stream key several times on different livestreams. This reduces the setup time and also removes possible errors in the configuration since once the configuration is completed it can be re-used.

What type to use

Best option is to always create a STREAM-type live source and benefit from our optimized encoding and delivery infrastructure. However, sometimes you may need a different approach for example if you get to use a stream from a different content provider. In this case creating a REMOTE-type live source is a great idea to ensure that you get all analytics and can fully benefit from that even though the stream itself comes from a different provider.

Livestream

Go live now, schedule for later or start an 24x7 broadcast. The API supports creating, editing and deleting all supported types of livestreams, running from the Flowplayer platform as well as remote sources.

Scheduling type

When working with livestreams you need to define the type of livestream you want to use. We support three different types:

Type Description
scheduled Should be used if the livestream should start in the future or right away and have a defined end time. The typical use case would be an planned event, for example a soccer game.
linear Should be used when creating a 24x7 linear channel. Linear broadcasts come with some limitations, for example it's not possible to record them.
simulive Simulive can be used to simulate a livestream by defining a playlist of existing videos. The videos will be streamed as a livestream in the order specified in the playlist.

The different types are treated differently by our platform and after creation it's not possible to change type, so it's important that the correct type is selected.

Remote or not

We always recommend to create livestreams using our optimized encoding and delivery infrastructure. However, sometimes you may need a different approach for example if you get to use a stream from a different content provider. In this case creating a REMOTE livestream is the correct approach in order to ensure that you will get fully benefit from our features like analytics, even though the stream itself comes from a different provider.

You'll need to set the remote: true parameter and specify a stream.viewing_url to configure a REMOTE livestream correctly.

Livestream Description

remote
boolean

When set to true the Livestream is treated as a remote asset by the platform

object (LiveVideoReplacement)

Contains settings for the Video that can be use to replace the Livestream in the player without re-embedding.

start_time
string <date-time>

Start date and time in ISO 8601 format for the Livestream, for example: 2021-06-01T12:33:22+00:00

Before the start time the Livestream will not be publicly visible when delivered with platform embeds. Instead a count down will be displayed in the player.

The start time will also initiate recording if the Livestream has the recording option set to true and be the start for the DVR if that is activated.

stop_time
string <date-time>

Stop date and time in ISO 8601 format for the Livestream, for example: 2021-06-01T12:33:22+00:00

This doesn't have any effect for the playback in the player unless allow_playback_after_stop_time is set to true and the stream is played in either flowplayer native or SDK:s.

This also controls the stop time for recordings. If recording is on for the Livestream it will stop at the stop time.

category_id
string

Unique identifier for the Category the Livestream belongs to.

scheduling_type
string
Enum: "INSTANT" "SCHEDULED" "LINEAR" "SIMULIVE"

Live Overlay

Live Overlays are images displayed on top of a Livestream. You can have several Live Overlays active on the Livestream on the same time, but only one per template.

The template_id and the livestream_id creates a unique identifier a Live Overlay since you only can have one active Live Overlay per Template and Livestream. Because of Template <-> Livestream relationship you don't need to store unique id:s for Overlays in you system, all you need to know is what template you're using.

Notice that the overlay will only be displayed between the start and stop time of the Livestream. If you are outside that window the overlay will not be displayed regardless of what value you set.

###Get Access ###

Contact support to get access to this feature. By default it will be turned off for all Workspaces and Organizations.

Templates

Flowplayer provides a set of template that can be used by anyone broadcasting a livestream. All templates have a set of replacement values that should be used to add your custom text to the overlay.

Below is a list of all existing templates and their replacement values:

ID Description Replacement Values Default X Position Default Y Position Default Opacity
scoreboard Our default scoreboard with black background and white text. Sample: alt text
  • HOME - The home team abbr.
  • SCORE - The current score
  • AWAY - The away team abbr.
 5 5 100

A minimal sample request to use the scoreboard template on a Livestream, {my-livestream-id} using the API:

curl https://api.flowplayer.com/platform/v3/livestreams/{my-livestream-id}/overlays/scoreboard \
-H "x-flowplayer-api-key: {my-api-key}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-X PUT -d '{ "fields" : { "HOME" : "NYR", "SCORE" : "1-1", "AWAY" : "SJS" } }'

Playlist

Playlists allow you to group videos into a list that plays in sequence in the player.

Selecting Playlist type

There are two types of playlists, MANUAL and AUTOMATIC, and what type to choose depends on how you want to manage your playlist.

AUTOMATIC playlists should be used if you want to filter its content through video metadata, e.g. tags or categories, and the sort order by popularity or publishing date.

If you instead want to control exactly which videos the playlist should contain and in what order they will be displayed, you can use the MANUAL type.
