Media APIs provides a set of API endpoints that enable developers to manage video and audio content on the FastPix platform. These endpoints are designed for creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting media files, as well as handling metadata and playback settings. This functionality is crucial for any video-centric product or application that serves video on demand (VOD) or audio on demand (AOD) content, allowing developers to programmatically manage their media library.
How media APIs work
These endpoints allow developers to automate the process of uploading media, managing playback permissions, and customizing the user experience. With the ability to create media from URLs, upload videos directly from devices, add audio or subtitle tracks, and manage playback IDs, developers can build scalable and flexible VOD solutions. The Media APIs ensure that content is easily accessible, customizable, and ready for distribution to users.
Use case scenarios
Building a video-on-demand platform: Developers can use these APIs to manage video libraries for streaming services, allowing users to watch content on demand.
Media management for e-learning platforms: Instructors can upload lecture videos, update content metadata, and control playback settings for students using these endpoints.
Adding multiple language tracks to videos: Developers can append additional audio or subtitle tracks to media for a global audience, providing a personalized viewing experience.
