A .NET client SDK for MediaKind MK.IO

This project is an open source .NET SDK for MediaKind MK.IO. For maximum compatibility, it targets .NET 8.0, .NET Standard 2.0 and .NET Framework 4.6.2.

Link to MK.IO Nuget package.

Usage (C#, .NET)

MK.IO Personal API Token

You need to use the new MK.IO Personal Access Tokens to connect to the API. This is a Json Web Token (JWT) also called Personal API Token. You can create them in the MK.IO portal and revoke them if needed.

To create one :

Open a web browser and log into https://app.mk.io (sign in with Microsoft SSO).
Once you are logged in, click on your email in the drop-down menu in the top right corner. More details here.

For more information, please read this article.

This SDK also brings token management features for the MK.IO API. You can use the SDK to create, list, revoke, and get details of your personal API tokens, using client.Management.YourProfile.

Supported operations

In the current version, operations are supported for :

Assets
Streaming endpoints
Streaming locators
Storage accounts
Content key policies
Transforms, including with CVQ presets, converter presets and Thumbnail generation
Jobs
Live events
Live outputs
Asset filters
Account filters
Streaming policies
Account (some methods were moved to Management/YourProfile)
Management/YourProfile

End-to-end sample code

File encoding

There is a documented end-to-end sample code available in the SampleNet8.0 project, in file SimpleEncodingAndPublishing.cs.

This sample code does the following :

upload a mp4 file to a new asset using authentication in the browser (you need contribution role on the storage)
create the output asset
create/update a transform
submit an encoding job
create/update a transform for thumbnails
submit a job to generate a thumbnails sprite
create a download locator for the thumbnails sprite and thumbnails vtt and list the Urls
create a streaming locator for the encoded asset
create and start a streaming endpoint if there is none
list the streaming urls and test player urls.
clean the created resources if the user accepts

Run the SampleNet8.0 project to execute this sample code.

Live streaming

There is a documented end-to-end sample code for live streaming, in file SimpleLiveStreaming.cs.

What the sample does :

create a live event
create a live output asset
create a live output
create a locator
create and start a streaming endpoint if there is none
list the streaming urls and test player urls.
propose to the user to convert the live asset to a mp4 asset and create a download locator to download the mp4 file(s)
clean the created resources if the user accepts

Edit Program.cs file in SampleNet8.0 to uncomment line await SimpleLiveStreaming.RunAsync();, comment await SimpleEncodingAndPublishing.RunAsync();, and run the sample project.

Other examples

Here is an example on how to use the SDK to manage assets and streaming endpoints :

using MK.IO;
using MK.IO.Models;

// **********************
// MK.IO Client creation
// **********************

var client = new MKIOClient("yourMKIOSubscriptionName", "yourMKIOPersonalAPIToken");

// get user profile info
var profile = client.Account.Management.YourProfile.GetProfile();

// Get subscription stats
var stats = client.Account.GetSubscriptionStats();

// Get monthly usage of MK.IO subscription
var monthlyUsage = client.Account.GetSubscriptionUsage();

// *****************
// asset operations
// *****************

// list assets
var mkioAssets = client.Assets.List();

// list assets with pages, 10 assets per page, sorted by creation date
var mkioAssetsResult = client.Assets.ListAsPage("properties/created desc", null, null, null, 10);
while (true)
{
    // do stuff here using mkioAssetsResult.Results

    if (mkioAssetsResult.NextPageLink == null) break;
    mkioAssetsResult = client.Assets.ListAsPageNext(mkioAssetsResult.NextPageLink);
}

// get asset
var mkasset = client.Assets.Get("myassetname");

// create a first asset, letting MK.IO generates a container name
var newAssetName = MKIOClient.GenerateUniqueName("asset");
var newasset = client.Assets.CreateOrUpdate(newAssetName, null, "storagename", "description of my asset");

// create another asset and use labels to tag it. Container name will be the nae of the asset
var newAssetName2 = MKIOClient.GenerateUniqueName("asset");
var newasset2 = client.Assets.CreateOrUpdate(
    newAssetName,
    newAssetName, // container name
    "storagename",
    "description of asset using labels",
    AssetContainerDeletionPolicyType.Retain,
    null,
    new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "typeAsset", "source" } }
    );

// list assets using labels filtering
var sourceEncodedAssets = client.Assets.List(label: new List<string> { "typeAsset=source" });

// delete created asset
client.Assets.Delete(newsasset.Name);

// get streaming locators for asset
var locatorsAsset = client.Assets.ListStreamingLocators("asset-1b510ee166");

// Get tracks and directory of an asset
var tracksAndDir = client.Assets.ListTracksAndDirListing("asset-ef2058b692");


// ******************************
// Streaming endpoint operations
// ******************************

// get streaming endpoint
var mkse = client.StreamingEndpoints.Get("streamingendpoint1");

// list streaming endpoints
var mkses = client.StreamingEndpoints.List();

// create streaming endpoint
var newSe = client.StreamingEndpoints.Create("streamingendpoint2", client.Account.GetSubscriptionLocation()!.Name, new StreamingEndpointProperties
            {
                Description = "my description",
                ScaleUnits = 0,
                CdnEnabled = false,
                Sku = new StreamingEndpointsCurrentSku
                {
                    Name = StreamingEndpointSkuType.Standard
                }
            });

// start, stop, delete streaming endpoint
client.StreamingEndpoints.Start("streamingendpoint1", true);
client.StreamingEndpoints.Stop("streamingendpoint1", true);
client.StreamingEndpoints.Delete("streamingendpoint1");

Additional samples are available :

Async operations are also supported. For example :

// *****************
// asset operations
// *****************

// Retrieve assets with pages for better performances, sorted by names, with a batch of 10 assets in each page
var mkioAssetsResult = await client.Assets.ListAsPageAsync("name desc", null, null, null, 10);
while (true)
{
    // do stuff here using mkioAssetsResult.Results

    if (mkioAssetsResult.NextPageLink == null) break;
    mkioAssetsResult = await client.Assets.ListAsPageNextAsync(mkioAssetsResult.NextPageLink);
}


// ******************************
// Streaming endpoint operations
// ******************************

// get streaming endpoint
var mkse = await client.StreamingEndpoints.GetAsync("streamingendpoint1");

// list streaming endpoints
var mkses = await client.StreamingEndpoints.ListAsync();

// create streaming endpoint
var location = await client.Account.GetSubscriptionLocationAsync();
var newSe = await client.StreamingEndpoints.CreateAsync("streamingendpoint2", location!.Name, new StreamingEndpointProperties
            {
                Description = "my description",
                ScaleUnits = 0,
                CdnEnabled = false,
                Sku = new StreamingEndpointsCurrentSku
                {
                    Name = StreamingEndpointSkuType.Standard
                }
            });

// start, stop, delete streaming endpoint
await client.StreamingEndpoints.StartAsync("streamingendpoint1", true);
await client.StreamingEndpoints.StopAsync("streamingendpoint1", true);
await client.StreamingEndpoints.DeleteAsync("streamingendpoint2");
