The Video Transcoding API provides an agnostic API to transcode media assets across different cloud services. Currently, it supports the following providers:
With latest Go installed, make sure to export the follow environment variables:
export ELEMENTALCONDUCTOR_HOST=https://conductor-address.cloud.elementaltechnologies.com/
export ELEMENTALCONDUCTOR_USER_LOGIN=your.login
export ELEMENTALCONDUCTOR_API_KEY=your.api.key
export ELEMENTALCONDUCTOR_AUTH_EXPIRES=30
export ELEMENTALCONDUCTOR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your.access.key.id
export ELEMENTALCONDUCTOR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your.secret.access.key
export ELEMENTALCONDUCTOR_DESTINATION=s3://your-s3-bucket/
For Encoding.com
export ENCODINGCOM_USER_ID=your.user.id
export ENCODINGCOM_USER_KEY=your.user.key
export ENCODINGCOM_DESTINATION=http://access.key.id:secret.access.key@your-s3-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/
export ENCODINGCOM_REGION="us-east-1"
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your.access.key.id
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your.secret.access.key
export AWS_REGION="us-east-1"
export ELASTICTRANSCODER_PIPELINE_ID="yourpipeline-id"
For Zencoder
export ZENCODER_API_KEY=your.api.key
export ZENCODER_DESTINATION=http://access.key.id:secret.access.key@your-s3-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/
Please notice that for Elastic Transcoder you don't specify the destination bucket, as it is defined in the Elastic Transcoder Pipeline.
In order to store preset maps and job statuses we need a Redis instance running. Learn how to setup and run a Redis here. With the Redis instance running, set its configuration variables:
export REDIS_ADDR=200.221.14.140
export REDIS_PASSWORD=p4ssw0rd.here
```
If you are running Redis in the same host of the API and on the default port
(6379) the API will automatically find the instance and connect to it.
With all environment variables set and redis up and running, clone this
repository and run:
```
$ git clone https://github.com/NYTimes/video-transcoding-api.git
$ make run
```
## Running tests
```
$ make test
```
## Using the API
