Get a media by ID

By calling this endpoint, you can retrieve detailed information about a specific media item, including its current status and a playbackId. This is particularly useful for retrieving specific media details when managing large content libraries.

How it works

1. Make a GET request to this endpoint, using the <mediaId> received after uploading the media file.

2. Receive a response that includes details about the media:

• status Indicates whether the media is still preparing or has transitioned to ready.

• The playbackId is a unique identifier that allows you to stream the media once it is ready. You can construct the stream URL in this format: https://stream.fastpix.io/<playbackId>.m3u8

Example

Suppose your platform provides users with an interface where they can manage their uploaded content. A user requests detailed information about a specific video to see if it has been fully processed and is available for playback. Using the media ID, you can fetch the information from FastPix and display it in the user’s dashboard.
