Submitting the job
Use the API Request Builder to generate a config file that match your specific workflow.
Example of coconut.conf
:
var s3 = s3://accesskey:secretkey@mybucket
set webhook = http://mysite.com/webhook/coconut?videoId=$vid
-> mp4 = $s3/videos/$vid.mp4
-> webm = $s3/videos/$vid.webm
-> jpg:300x = $s3/previews/thumbs_#num#.jpg, number=3
Here is the python code to submit the config file:
import coconut
from coconut import job
job = coconut.job.create(
api_key='k-api-key',
conf='coconut.conf',
source='http://yoursite.com/media/video.mp4',
vars={'vid': 1234}
)
if job['status'] == 'ok':
print job['id']
else:
print job['error_code']
print job['error_message']
You can also create a job without a config file. To do that you will need to give every settings in the method parameters. Here is the exact same job but without a config file:
vid = 1234
s3 = 's3://accesskey:secretkey@mybucket'
job = coconut.job.create(
api_key='k-api-key',
source='http://yoursite.com/media/video.mp4',
webhook='http://mysite.com/webhook/coconut?videoId=' + str(vid),
outputs={
'mp4': s3 + '/videos/video_' + str(vid) + '.mp4',
'webm': s3 + '/videos/video_' + str(vid) + '.webm',
'jpg:300x': s3 + '/previews/thumbs_#num#.jpg, number=3'
}
)
Note that you can use the environment variable COCONUT_API_KEY
to set your API key.
