Replacing a video

Replacing a video file is done by sending a PUT request to the /videos/upload/[VIDEO_ID] endpoint to replace the video file. You will get a response containing a signed S3URL to upload the video file to.

When replacing a video, all old video files of this video will be deleted or overwritten. The replacement is irreversible.

Get signed URL

CURL


curl -X PUT https://app.ignitevideo.cloud/api/videos/upload/[VIDEO_ID] \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \

JavaScript / Node.js


const response = await fetch(`https://app.ignitevideo.cloud/api/videos/upload/[VIDEO_ID]`, {
method: 'PUT',
headers: {
  'Authorization': `Bearer YOUR_TOKEN`,
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
});

PHP


$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->request('PUT', 'https://app.ignitevideo.cloud/api/videos/upload/[VIDEO_ID]', [
'headers' => [
  'Authorization' => 'Bearer YOUR_TOKEN',
  'Content-Type' => 'application/json'
]
]);

Response


{
  "videoId": "[VIDEO_ID]",
  "signedUrl": "[SIGNED_URL]",
}

Upload video file

Upload your video file as a PUT request to the signed URL returned in the previous step. You have to pass the mime type of the file as Content-Type header. You can get the mime type from your local video file via the file input element.

CURL


curl -X PUT [SIGNED_URL] \
  -H "Content-Type: [MIME_TYPE]" \
  --data-binary "@[PATH_TO_VIDEO_FILE]"

JavaScript / Node.js


const response = await fetch([SIGNED_URL], {
  method: 'PUT',
  body: [VIDEO_FILE],
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': [MIME_TYPE]
  }
});

PHP


$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->request('PUT', [SIGNED_URL], [
  'body' => [VIDEO_FILE],
  'headers' => [
    'Content-Type' => [MIME_TYPE]
  ]
]);

Encoding process

After the video file has been uploaded, the video will be encoded. This process can take a while, depending on the video size and encoding complexity.

You can check the encoding status of a video by calling the /videos/[VIDEO_ID] endpoint as described in the get video section.
