media.ccc.de webfrontend, meta data editor and API.
Every talk (alias event, in other systems also called lecture or session) is assigned to exactly one conference (e.g. the congress or lecture series like datengarten or openchaos) and consists of multiple files alias recordings. These files can be video or audio recordings of the talk in different formats and languages (live-translation), subtitle tracks as srt or slides as pdf.
The public API provides a programatic access to the data behind media.ccc.de. Consumers of this API are typically player apps for different eco systems, see https://media.ccc.de/about.html#apps for a 'full' list. The whole API is "discoverable" starting from https://api.media.ccc.de/public/conferences ; Available methods:
/public/conferences
/public/conferences/:id
/public/events
/public/events/:id
/public/recordings/:id
/public/recordings
The id's are internal database ids, not to be confused with guids or conference talk ids (alias pentabarf/frab id), e.g. https://media.ccc.de/public/events/2935
Example:
curl -H "CONTENT-TYPE: application/json" http://localhost:3000/public/conferences
The resulting JSON will contain URLs to each of the individual conferences.
Additionally the API for events and recordings uses RFC-5988 HTTP header based pagination to reduce the server load.
curl -H "CONTENT-TYPE: application/json" "http://localhost:3000/public/events?page=10"
The private API is used by our (video) production teams. They manage the content by adding new conferences, events and other files (so called recordings). All API calls need to use the JSON format. An example API client can be found as part of our publishing-script repository: https://github.com/voc/publishing/
Most REST operations work as expected. Examples for resource creation are listed on the applications dashboard page.
You can use the API to register a new conference. The conference acronym and the URL of the schedule.xml are required.
However folders and access rights need to be setup manually, before you can upload images and videos.
curl -H "CONTENT-TYPE: application/json" -d '{
"api_key":"4","acronym":"frab123",
"conference":{
"recordings_path":"conference/frab123",
"images_path":"events/frab",
"slug":"event/frab/frab123",
"aspect_ratio":"16:9",
"title":null,
"schedule_url":"http://progam/schedule.xml"
}
}' "http://localhost:3000/api/conferences"
You can add images to an event, like the poster image. The event is identified by its guid and the conference acronym.
curl -H "CONTENT-TYPE: application/json" -d '{
"api_key":"4",
"acronym":"frab123",
"poster_url":"http://koeln.ccc.de/images/chaosknoten_preview.jpg",
"thumb_url":"http://koeln.ccc.de/images/chaosknoten.jpg",
"event":{
"guid":"123",
"slug":"123",
"title":"qwerty"
}
}' "http://localhost:3000/api/events"
Recordings are added by specifiying the parent events guid, an URL and a filename.
The recording length is specified in seconds.
