Usages

Now the only feature availabled is creating signed URL with ByteArk Signature Version 2.

First, create a ByteArkV2UrlSigner instance with access_id and access_secret. (access_id is currently optional for ByteArk Fleet).

Then, call sign method with URL to sign, Unix timestamp that the URL should expired, and sign options.

For sign options argument, you may include method, which determines which HTTP method is allowed (GET is the default is not determined), and may includes custom policies.

Usage using ES6

The following example will create a signed URL that allows to GET the resource within 1st January 2018:

import { ByteArkV2UrlSigner } from 'byteark-sdk';

const signer = new ByteArkV2UrlSigner({
    access_id: '2Aj6Wkge4hi1ZYLp0DBG',
    access_secret: '31sX5C0lcBiWuGPTzRszYvjxzzI3aCZjJi85ZyB7',
});

const signedUrl = signer.sign(
    'https://example.cdn.byteark.com/path/to/file.png',
    1514764800
);

console.log(signedUrl)

/*
Output:
https://example.cdn.byteark.com/path/to/file.png
    ?x_ark_access_id=2Aj6Wkge4hi1ZYLp0DBG
    &x_ark_auth_type=ark-v2
    &x_ark_expires=1514764800
    &x_ark_signature=OsBgZpn9LTAJowa0UUhlYQ
*/

Usage using CommonJS

var byteark = require('byteark-sdk');
var ByteArkV2UrlSigner = byteark.ByteArkV2UrlSigner;

// Following steps just like using with CommonJS

Usage for HLS

When signing URL for HLS, you have to choose common path prefix and assign to path_prefix option is required, since ByteArk will automatically create secured URLs for each segments using the same options and signature.

For example, if your stream URL is https://example.cdn.byteark.com/live/playlist.m3u8, you may use /live/ as a path prefix.

import { ByteArkV2UrlSigner } from 'byteark-sdk';

const signer = new ByteArkV2UrlSigner({
    access_id: '2Aj6Wkge4hi1ZYLp0DBG',
    access_secret: '31sX5C0lcBiWuGPTzRszYvjxzzI3aCZjJi85ZyB7',
});

const signedUrl = signer.sign(
    'https://example.cdn.byteark.com/live/playlist.m3u8',
    1514764800,
    {
        path_prefix: '/live/',
    }
);

console.log(signedUrl)

/*
Output:
https://example.cdn.byteark.com/live/playlist.m3u8
    ?x_ark_access_id=2Aj6Wkge4hi1ZYLp0DBG
    &x_ark_auth_type=ark-v2
    &x_ark_expires=1514764800
    &x_ark_path_prefix=%2Flive%2F
    &x_ark_signature=7JGsff2mBQEOoSYHTjxiVQ
