JW Platform API Client

The JWPlatform PHP library provides convenient access to the JW Platform Management API from applications written in the PHP language.

Visit JW Player Developer site for more information about JW Platform API.

Requirements

PHP 5.6.0 and later.

Install

Composer

You can install the bindings via Composer. Run the following command:

composer require jwplayer/jwplatform

To use the bindings, use Composer's autoload:

require_once('vendor/autoload.php');

Manual Installation

If you do not wish to use Composer, you can download the latest release. Then, to use the bindings, include the init.php file.

require_once('/path/to/jwplatform-php/init.php');

Dependencies

The bindings require the following extensions in order to work properly:

• curl, although you can use your own non-cURL client if you prefer

If you use Composer, these dependencies should be handled automatically. If you install manually, you'll want to make sure that these extensions are available.

Usage

Please refer to our documentation for all API functionality.

Get video metadata

$jwplatform_api = new Jwplayer\JwplatformAPI('INSERT API KEY', 'INSERT API SECRET');

$video_key = 'INSERT VIDEO KEY';
$response = $jwplatform_api->call('/videos/show', array('video_key'=>$video_key));

Upload file

$jwplatform_api = new Jwplayer\JwplatformAPI('INSERT API KEY', 'INSERT API SECRET');

$target_file = 'examples/test.mp4';
$params = array();
$params['title'] = 'PHP API Test Upload';
$params['description'] = 'Video description here';

// Create video metadata
$create_response = json_encode($jwplatform_api->call('/videos/create', $params));
$decoded = json_decode(trim($create_response), TRUE);
$upload_link = $decoded['link'];

$upload_response = $jwplatform_api->upload($target_file, $upload_link);

print_r($upload_response);

Get analytics report

$jwplatform_api = new Jwplayer\JwplatformAPI('API KEY', 'API SECRET', 'REPORTING API KEY');

// set these environment variables
$jwplatform_api_key = $_ENV['JWPLATFORM_API_KEY'];
$jwplatform_api_secret = $_ENV['JWPLATFORM_API_SECRET'];
$reporting_api_key = $_ENV['JWPLATFORM_REPORTING_API_KEY'];

$jwplatform_api = new Jwplayer\JwplatformAPI($jwplatform_api_key, $jwplatform_api_secret, $reporting_api_key);

// params to get to query by embeds by device for a certain date range
$params = array();
$params['start_date'] = '2019-12-01';
$params['end_date'] = '2019-12-31';
$params['dimensions'] = array('device_id');
$params['include_metadata'] = 1;
$params['metrics'] = array(array('operation' => 'sum', 'field' => 'embeds'));
$params['sort'] = array(array('field' => 'embeds', 'order' => 'DESCENDING'));

// Query analytics
$response = json_encode($jwplatform_api->call('/sites/'.$jwplatform_api_key.'/analytics/queries', $params, 'v2'));

print_r(json_decode($response));
