Coconut Go Library

The Coconut Go library provides access to the Coconut API for encoding videos, packaging media files into HLS and MPEG-Dash, generating thumbnails and GIF animation.

This library is only compatible with the Coconut API v2.

Documentation

See the full documentation.

Installation

go get github.com/opencoconut/coconutgo

Usage

The library needs you to set your API key which can be found in your dashboard. Webhook URL and storage settings are optional but are very convenient because you set them only once.

Example

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "os"
  "github.com/opencoconut/coconutgo"
)

func main() {
  // Initialize the Client
  cli := coconut.NewClient(coconut.Client{
    APIKey: os.Getenv("COCONUT_API_KEY"),
    Storage: coconut.Storage{
      "service": "s3",
      "region":  "us-east-1",
      "credentials": coconut.StorageCredentials{
        "access_key_id":     os.Getenv("AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"),
        "secret_access_key": os.Getenv("AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"),
      },
      "bucket": "mybucket",
    },
    Notification: coconut.Notification{
      "type": "http",
      "url":  "https://yoursite/api/coconut/webhook",
    },
  })

  // Create a job
  job, err := cli.Job.Create(coconut.JobCreate{
    Input: coconut.InputCreate{
      "url": "https://mysite/path/file.mp4",
    },
    Outputs: coconut.OutputCreate{
      "jpg:300x": coconut.OutputParams{
        "path": "/image.jpg",
      },
      "mp4:1080p": coconut.OutputParams{
        "path": "/1080p.mp4",
      },
      "httpstream": coconut.OutputParams{
        "hls": coconut.OutputParams{
          "path": "hls/",
        },
      },
    },
  })

  if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("%# v", err)
  } else {
    fmt.Printf("%# v", job)
  }
}

Choose the region

cli.Region = "eu-west-1"

Enabling Ultrafast Mode

job, err := cli.Job.Create(coconut.JobCreate{
  Settings: coconut.Settings{
    "ultrafast": true
  },
  Input: coconut.InputCreate{
    "url": "https://mysite/path/file.mp4",
  },
  Outputs: coconut.OutputCreate{
    "mp4:2160p": coconut.OutputParams{
      "path": "/4k.mp4",
    },
  },
})

Getting information about a job

job := cli.Job.Retrieve("TsySPignC2xhOK")

for i, o := range job.Outputs {
  if o.Type == "video" {
    fmt.Printf("%d) Video: %# v\n\n", i, o.GetVideoURL())
  } else if o.Type == "image" {
    fmt.Printf("%d) Image: %# v\n\n", i, o.GetImageURLs())
  } else if o.Type == "httpstream" {
    fmt.Printf("%d) HTTPStream: %# v\n\n", i, o.GetHTTPStreamURLs())
  }
}

Retrieving metadata

cli.Metadata.retrieve("OolQXaiU86NFki")
