        # Shotstack Ruby SDK 

Ruby SDK for the Shotstack [Ruby video editor](https://shotstack.io/product/sdk/ruby/) and cloud video editing API.

Shotstack is a cloud based video editing platform that enables the editing of videos using code.

The platform uses an API and a JSON format for specifying how videos should be edited and what asset and titles should be used.

A server based render farm takes care of rendering the videos allowing multiple videos to be created simultaneously.

For examples of how to use the SDK to create videos using code checkout the Ruby demo repo: https://github.com/shotstack/ruby-demos

# Using the Ruby SDK

### Installation

```bash

gem install shotstack

```

## Video Editing

The Shotstack SDK enables programmatic video editing via the Edit API `render` endpoint. Prepare JSON edits using the

provided schema classes and `POST` to the API for rendering.

### Video Editing Example

The example below trims the start of a video clip and plays it for 8 seconds. The edit is prepared using the SDK models

and then sent to the API for rendering.

```ruby

require "shotstack"

Shotstack.configure do |config|

  config.api_key['x-api-key'] = "H7jKyj90kd09lbLOF7J900jNbSWS67X87xs9j0cD"

  config.host = "api.shotstack.io"

  config.base_path = "stage"

end

api_client = Shotstack::EditApi.new

video_asset = Shotstack::VideoAsset.new(

  src: "https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/shotstack-assets/footage/skater.hd.mp4",

  trim: 3

)

video_clip = Shotstack::Clip.new(

  asset: video_asset,

  start: 0,

  length: 8

)

track = Shotstack::Track.new(clips: [video_clip])

timeline = Shotstack::Timeline.new(

  background: "#000000",

  tracks: [track])

output = Shotstack::Output.new(

  format: "mp4",

  resolution: "sd")

edit = Shotstack::Edit.new(

  timeline: timeline,

  output: output)

response = api_client.post_render(edit).response

puts response.id

```

### Status Check Example

The example request below can be called a few seconds after the render above is posted. It will return the status of 

the render, which can take several seconds to process.

```ruby

require "shotstack"

Shotstack.configure do |config|

  config.api_key['x-api-key'] = "H7jKyj90kd09lbLOF7J900jNbSWS67X87xs9j0cD"

  config.host = "api.shotstack.io"

  config.base_path = "stage"

end

id = "75143ec6-4b72-46f8-a67a-fd7284546935" # Use the render id from the previous example

api_client = Shotstack::EditApi.new

response = api_client.get_render(id, { data: false, merged: true }).response

if response.status === "done"

  puts response.url

```

### Save a Template Example

The example below uses the Edit we create in the [Video Editing Example](#video-editing-example) and saves it as a

template. The template can be rendered at a later date and can include placeholders. Placeholders can be replaced 

when rendered using [merge fields](#mergefield).

This example uses a placeholder for the video src (URL), trim (TRIM), and length (LENGTH) to allow you to trim any video

using a template.

```ruby

require "shotstack"

Shotstack.configure do |config|

  config.api_key['x-api-key'] = "H7jKyj90kd09lbLOF7J900jNbSWS67X87xs9j0cD"

  config.host = "api.shotstack.io"

  config.base_path = "stage"

end

api_client = Shotstack::EditApi.new

video_asset = Shotstack::VideoAsset.new(

  src: "{{URL}}",

  trim: "{{TRIM}}"

)

video_clip = Shotstack::Clip.new(

  asset: video_asset,

  start: 0,

  length: "{{LENGTH}}"

)

track = Shotstack::Track.new(clips: [video_clip])

timeline = Shotstack::Timeline.new(

  background: "#000000",

  tracks: [track]

)

output = Shotstack::Output.new(

  format: "mp4",

  resolution: "sd"

)

edit = Shotstack::Edit.new(

  timeline: timeline,

  output: output

)

template = Shotstack::Template.new(

  name: "Trim Template",

  template: edit

)

response = api_client.post_template(template).response

puts response.id

```

### Render a Template Example

The example below renders the template we created in the previous example and includes merge fields that will replace

the placeholders. Once submitted use the returned render ID and call the [Status Check Example](#status-check-example)

to get the render progress.

```ruby

require "shotstack"

Shotstack.configure do |config|

  config.api_key['x-api-key'] = "H7jKyj90kd09lbLOF7J900jNbSWS67X87xs9j0cD"

  config.host = "api.shotstack.io"

  config.base_path = "stage"

end

id = "8aeabb0e-b5eb-8c5e-847d-82297dd4802a"; # use the template id from previous example

api_client = Shotstack::EditApi.new

merge_field_url = Shotstack::MergeField.new(

  find: "URL",

  replace: "https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/shotstack-assets/footage/skater.hd.mp4"

)

merge_field_trim = Shotstack::MergeField.new(

  find: "TRIM",

  replace: 3

)

merge_field_length = Shotstack::MergeField.new(

  find: "LENGTH",

  replace: 6

)

template = Shotstack::TemplateRender.new(

  id: id,

  merge: [

    merge_field_url,

    merge_field_trim,

    merge_field_length

  ]

)

response = api_client.post_template_render(template).response

puts response.id

```

## Video Editing Schemas

The following schemas are used to prepare a video edit.

### Edit

An **Edit** defines the arrangement of a video on a timeline, an audio edit or an image design and the output format.

The placeholders can be used to find and replace keys with values. For example you can search for the placeholder `{{NAME}}` and replace it with the value `Jane`. | -

---

## Output Schemas

The following schemas specify the output format and tings.

### Output

The output format, render range and type of media to generate.

#### Example:

  size: size,

  fps: 25,

  scale_to: 'preview',

  quality: 'medium',

  repeat: true,

  mute: false,

  range: range,

  poster: poster,

  thumbnail: thumbnail,

  destinations: destinations

)

```

#### Arguments:

Argument | Type | Description | Required

:--- | :--- | :--- | :---: 

format | string | The output format and type of media file to generate. 


`mp4` - mp4 video file

`gif` - animated gif

`jpg` - jpg image file

`png` - png image file

`bmp` - bmp image file

`mp3` - mp3 audio file (audio only)

 | Y

resolution | string | The output resolution of the video or image.

`sd` - 1024px x 576px @ 25fps

`hd` - 1280px x 720px @ 25fps

`1080` - 1920px x 1080px @ 25fps

 | -

aspectRatio | string | The aspect ratio (shape) of the video or image. Useful for social media output formats. Options are: 

`16:9` - regular landscape/horizontal aspect ratio (default)

`9:16` - vertical/portrait aspect ratio

`1:1` - square aspect ratio

`4:5` - short vertical/portrait aspect ratio

`4:3` - legacy TV aspect ratio

 | -

## Managing Assets

By default, all assets generated by the editing API are hosted by Shotstack and served via our CDN. The SDK provides

access to the Serve API to retrieve information about hosted files. Files can also be deleted.

### Assets by Render ID Example

The example below uses a render ID to look up hosted assets associated with the render. Note that multiple assets can be

created for a render, i.e. video, thumb and poster. Each asset has a unique asset ID different to the render ID.

```ruby

require "shotstack"

Shotstack.configure do |config|

  config.api_key['x-api-key'] = "H7jKyj90kd09lbLOF7J900jNbSWS67X87xs9j0cD"

  config.host = "api.shotstack.io"

  config.base_path = "serve/stage"

end

id = "140924c6-077d-4334-a89f-94befcfc0155"

api_client = Shotstack::ServeApi.new

begin

  data = api_client.get_asset_by_render_id(id).data

rescue => error

  abort("Request failed: #{error.message}")

end

data.each do |asset|

  case asset.attributes.status

  when "failed"

    puts ">> Something went wrong, asset could not be copied."

  else

    puts "Status: #{asset.attributes.status}"

    puts ">> Asset CDN URL: #{asset.attributes.url}"

    puts ">> Asset ID: #{asset.attributes.id}"

    puts ">> Render ID: #{asset.attributes.render_id}"

  end

end

```

### Assets by Asset ID Example

Every asset has a unique asset ID, the example below looks up an asset by its asset ID.

```ruby

require "shotstack"

Shotstack.configure do |config|

  config.api_key['x-api-key'] = "H7jKyj90kd09lbLOF7J900jNbSWS67X87xs9j0cD"

  config.host = "api.shotstack.io"

  config.base_path = "serve/stage"

end

id = "ed43eae3-4825-4c03-979d-f7dc47b9997c"

api_client = Shotstack::ServeApi.new

begin

  asset = api_client.get_asset(id).data

rescue => error

  abort("Request failed: #{error.message}")

end

case asset.attributes.status

when "failed"

  puts ">> Something went wrong, asset could not be copied."

else

  puts "Status: #{asset.attributes.status}"

  puts ">> Asset CDN URL: #{asset.attributes.url}"

  puts ">> Asset ID: #{asset.attributes.id}"

  puts ">> Render ID: #{asset.attributes.render_id}"

end

```

## Asset Schemas

The following schemas are returned by requests to the Serve API.

### AssetResponse

The **AssetResponse** is the response returned by the Serve API [get asset](https://shotstack.io/docs/api/#get-asset) request. Includes details of a hosted video, image, audio file, thumbnail or poster image. The response follows  the [json:api](https://jsonapi.org/) specification.

#### Arguments:

Argument | Type | Description | Required

:--- | :--- | :--- | :---: 

data | [Shotstack::AssetResponseData](#assetresponsedata) | Returns an asset resource. | -

---

### AssetRenderResponse

The **AssetRenderResponse** is the response returned by the Serve API [get asset by render id](https://shotstack.io/docs/api/#get-asset-by-render-id) request. The response is an array of asset resources, including video, image, audio, thumbnail and poster image. The response follows  the [json:api](https://jsonapi.org/) specification.

#### Arguments:

Argument | Type | Description | Required

:--- | :--- | :--- | :---: 

data | [Shotstack::AssetResponseData[]](#assetresponsedata) | Returns an array of asset resources grouped by render id. | -

#### Arguments:

Argument | Type | Description | Required

:--- | :--- | :--- | :---:

id | string | The unique id of the hosted asset in UUID format. | -

owner | string | The owner id of the render task. | -

region | string | The region the asset is hosted, currently only `au` (Australia). | -

render_id | string | The original render id that created the asset in UUID format. Multiple asset can share the same render id. | -

filename | string | The asset file name. | -

url | string | The asset file name. | -

status | string | The status of the asset. 


`importing` - the asset is being copied to the hosting service

`ready` - the asset is ready to be served to users

`failed` - the asset failed to copy or delete

`deleted` - the asset has been deleted
