Streamio REST API wrapper for C#

Official C# wrapper for the http://streamio.com API. Integrating video in your application has never been more awesome.

Installation

Via NuGet

You can install the Streamio library using the NuGet extension for Visual Studio (http://nuget.org).

From the Package Manager Console run Install-Package Streamio.

Or search for and install the Streamio package using the Manage NuGet Packages dialog.

From Source

Feel free to download the source from this repository and simply include it in your project.

If you go about it that way you will also have to manually install the RestSharp library (https://github.com/restsharp/RestSharp).

Usage

Include it.

using Streamio;

Initialize it.

StreamioAPI api = new StreamioAPI("api-username", "api-password");

Use it.

// Fetch an array of Videos
List<Video> videos = api.Videos.List();

// Pass in parameters as specified in the API docs
// This fetches the 5 most played videos tagged with Nature or Sports
List<Video> videos = api.Videos.List(new Dictionary<string, object>() {
	{"tags", "Nature, Sports"},
	{"limit", 5},
	{"order", "plays.desc"}
});

// Find a Video by id
Video video = api.Videos.Find("4c57f3975412901427000005");

// Create a Video
Video video = api.Videos.Create(new Dictionary<string, object>() {
	{"title", "Super Awesome"},
	{"description", "What an awesome video."},
	{"skip_default_encoding_profiles", true},
	{"tags", "Awesome, Tags"},
	{"file", "/path/to/awesome.mov"}
});

// Count videos with or without parameters
api.Videos.Count() // 23
api.Videos.Count(new Dictionary<string, object>() {
	{"tags", "Awesome"}
}) // 6

Handle errors.

// Creating or updating with invalid parameters throws StreamioValidationException
try
{
	api.Playlists.Create(new Dictionary<string, object>() {});
}
catch(StreamioValidationException e)
{
	// Do something with the e.Errors dictionary
}

// All other errors such as 401 unauthenticated, 404 not found, 400 bad request etc
// throws StreamioException which includes server response in message output
StreamioAPI api = new StreamioAPI("faulty-username", "faulty-password");
try
{
	api.Videos.List();
}
catch(StreamioException e)
{
	// e.Message should explain what went wrong
	// conditional error handling could be done on e.Response.StatusCode
}

Same principles work for the other available models (Image, Playlist, Player, Audio, EncodingProfile and PublicUpload).
