Video Transcoding API

The Video Transcoding API provides an agnostic API to transcode media assets across different cloud services. Currently, it supports the following providers:

• Amazon Elastic Transcoder
• Bitmovin
• Elemental Conductor
• Encoding.com
• Hybrik
• Zencoder
• MediaConvert

Setting Up

With latest Go installed, make sure to export the follow environment variables:

Providers configuration

For Amazon Elastic Transcoder

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"

Please notice that for Elastic Transcoder you don't specify the destination bucket, as it is defined in the Elastic Transcoder Pipeline.

export ENCODINGCOM_USER_KEY=your.user.key
export ENCODINGCOM_DESTINATION=http://access.key.id:[e-mail]/
export ENCODINGCOM_REGION="us-east-1"

For Hybrik

export HYBRIK_URL=your.hybrik.api.endpoint.such.as.https://api_demo.hybrik.com/v1
export HYBRIK_COMPLIANCE_DATE=20170601
export HYBRIK_OAPI_KEY=your.hybrik.oapi.key

HYBRIK_PRESET_PATH is optional and defines the folder presets will be stored in. If not specified, it will default to 'video-transcoding-api-presets'.

For Zencoder

export MEDIACONVERT_QUEUE_ARN=your.queue.arn
export MEDIACONVERT_ROLE_ARN=your.iam.role.arn
export MEDIACONVERT_DESTINATION=s3://your-s3-bucket

Database configuration

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=192.0.2.31
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/video-dev/video-transcoding-api.git
$ make run

Running tests

$ make test

Using the API

Check out on our Wiki how to use this API.
