OVERVIEW

The VIDEO INFORMATION SERVICE (VIS) provides numerous APIs and functionalities which allow you to orchestrate a streaming solution by connecting various services together.

Not all services will be used for a deployment, and it instead depends on the client needs.

Global Requirements

Authorisation: Every call to the VIS API requires an API-KEY header to authenticate agains the setup. You can provide this as either of the formats below:

    API-KEY:    xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx
    X-Auth-Key: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx

If you fail to provide a valid API key for the client you will recieve a 401 Unauthorised

Transaction IDs: Every call to the VIS API can have an optional Transaction ID to identify the request. This header, if provided, will persist on the API response, alongside any other content.

    X-Transaction-ID:   my-transaction-id

Route Prefix: Every API route has the prefix /api/. This means that a documented as GET /channel/ will required a GET request to http://server.url.com/api/channel/

Failure to account for this will result in a 404 Not Found
