A Python wrapper library for the Wistia API
* Free software: MIT license
* Documentation: https://wystia.readthedocs.io.
* Wistia Developer Docs: https://wistia.com/support/developers.
Installation
------------
The Wystia library is available `on PyPI`_, and can be installed with ``pip``:
.. code-block:: shell
$ pip install wystia
You'll also need to create an access token as outlined `in the docs`_.
Usage
-----
Sample usage with the `Data API `_:
Note: The following example makes use of ``WistiaApi``, which is an alias to
the class ``WistiaDataApi``.
.. code-block:: python3
from wystia import WistiaApi
from wystia.models import SortBy, LanguageCode, Customizations, Private
# Setup the Wistia API token to use for requests. You can alternatively
# set this via the env variable 'WISTIA_API_TOKEN'.
WistiaApi.configure('MY-TOKEN')
# Retrieve a list of all projects in the Wistia account,
# sorted A-Z and in ascending order.
projects = WistiaApi.list_all_projects(SortBy.NAME)
project_ids = [p.hashed_id for p in projects]
# Print the project data as a prettified JSON string
print(projects.prettify())
# Retrieve a list of videos for a Wistia project.
# Note: If you don't require asset info (such as ADs) on each
# video, I suggest calling `list_project` instead.
videos = WistiaApi.list_videos('project-id')
# Retrieve info on a particular video
vd = WistiaApi.get_video('video-id')
# If the video has captions, that won't be included in the `Medias#show`
# response by default, so we'll need a separate API call as below.
# vd.process_captions(
# WistiaApi.list_captions(real_video_id))
print(vd)
# Update attributes on a media (video), or set a custom thumbnail on the video.
WistiaApi.update_video(
'video-id',
thumbnail_media_id='uploaded-thumbnail-id'
)
# Get aggregated stats for a video, such as view count
stats = WistiaApi.get_stats_for_video('video-id')
# Retrieve the customization data for a video
customizations = WistiaApi.get_customizations('video-id')
# Update only specific customizations for a video
# Note the embed options are documented here:
# https://wistia.com/support/developers/embed-options
sample_embed_options = Customizations(
player_color='#e7fad1',
# Hide comments on the media page
private=Private(show_comments=False)
)
WistiaApi.update_customizations('video-id', sample_embed_options)
# Get the Spanish captions on a video
captions = WistiaApi.get_captions('video-id', LanguageCode.SPANISH)
# Add (or replace) the English captions on a video
WistiaApi.update_captions(
'video-id',
LanguageCode.ENGLISH,
srt_file='path/to/file.srt'
)
... or to upload media via the `Upload API `_:
.. code-block:: python3
from wystia import WistiaUploadApi
# Upload a file to a (default) project on Wistia
r = WistiaUploadApi.upload_file('path/to/my-file.mp4')
# Check if the video was successfully uploaded
# assert r.created
# assert r.name == 'my-file.mp4'
# Uploads with a public link to a video, such as
# an S3 pre-signed url.
r = WistiaUploadApi.upload_link('my-s3-link',
title='My Video Name',
description='My Description')
... you can alternatively retrieve asset info via the public Media Embed link:
.. code-block:: python3
from wystia import WistiaEmbedApi
# Get the media embed data
embed_data = WistiaEmbedApi.get_data('video-id')
# Retrieve the source URL of the original media
source_url = WistiaEmbedApi.asset_url(media_data=embed_data)
... when using the *Data API*, the ``WistiaHelper`` can help to further simplify some calls:
.. code-block:: python3
from wystia import WistiaHelper
# Check if the video exists in your Wistia account
assert WistiaHelper.video_exists('abc1234567')
# Check if a video's name indicates the video is an archived copy of an
# existing video, as discussed in the below article on replacing a media:
# https://wistia.com/learn/product-updates/improved-library-management-tools
assert WistiaHelper.is_archived_video(
'My Title [Archived on August 13, 2015]')
# Update the player color on a video
WistiaHelper.customize_video_on_wistia('video-id', 'ffffcc')
# Individually enable captions / AD in the player for a video
WistiaHelper.enable_ad('video-id')
WistiaHelper.enable_captions('video-id', on_by_default=False)
# Disable captions / AD in the player for a video
if WistiaHelper.has_captions_enabled('video-id'):
print('Disabling captions and AD for the video')
WistiaHelper.disable_captions_and_ad('video-id')
Getting Started
---------------
Using the methods on the API classes assume your Wistia API token
has previously been configured, for example via the environment. The API token will
then be used globally by all the API classes when making requests to the Wistia API.
You can set the following environment variable with your API token:
* ``WISTIA_API_TOKEN``
Another option is to use the global ``configure`` method as shown below:
.. code-block:: python3
WistiaDataApi.configure('MY-API-TOKEN')
There is additionally a `Quickstart`_ section in the docs which walks
through - in more detail - how to get up and running with the
Wystia library.
Data API
--------
The wrapper class ``WistiaDataApi`` (aliased to ``WistiaApi``) interacts
with the Wistia Data API (docs below):
- https://wistia.com/support/developers/data-api
It fully implements the following sections in the API documentation:
- Paging and Sorting Responses
- Projects
- Medias
- Customizations
- Captions
The following sections in the API have *not* been implemented (mainly as I haven't used them before):
- Project Sharings
- Account
Tips
~~~~
Containers
==========
In general, the API methods that begin with *list* - such as ``list_project`` -
will return a `Container`_ object, which essentially acts as a thin wrapper
around a collection of model classes. For all intents and purposes, this behaves
exactly the same as a ``list`` object.
One of the main benefits is that it implements a ``__str__`` method, which leverages
the builtin ``pprint`` module in Python to pretty-print the Python object representation
of each model or *dataclass* instance; this will format the output more nicely, for example
whenever ``print(obj)`` is called on the `Container` result.
The ``Container`` objects also implement the following convenience methods, which can
be used to easily display the JSON string representation of the list of dataclass instances:
* ``to_json`` - Convert the list of instances to a JSON string.
* ``prettify`` - Convert the list of instances to a *prettified* JSON string.
List Medias in a Project
========================
If you need to retrieve info on videos in a project and you
don't need complete info such as a list of assets for the video,
I recommend using ``list_project`` instead of ``list_videos``. This is because
the `Projects#show `_
API returns up to 500 results per request, whereas the ``Medias#list``
only returns the default 100 results per page.
Assuming a project in your Wistia account has a total of about 250 media, here is the number of API
calls you might expect from each individual approach:
.. code-block:: python3
from wystia import WistiaDataApi
videos = WistiaDataApi.list_videos('project-id')
assert WistiaDataApi.request_count() == 3
# Resets request count for the next call
WistiaDataApi.reset_request_count()
videos = WistiaDataApi.list_project('project-id')
assert WistiaDataApi.request_count() == 1
Thread Safety
-------------
The Wistia API classes are completely thread safe, since ``requests.Session``
objects are not re-used between API calls.
This means that if you have two (un-related) API operations to perform,
such as updating a video's title and adding captions on the video,
then you can certainly run those calls in parallel so that
they complete a bit faster.
