This SDK is automatically generated by the OpenAPI Generator project:

• API version: v1
• Package version: 3.19.0
• Build package: org.openapitools.codegen.languages.RubyClientCodegen For more information, please visit https://docs.mux.com

Installation

Build a gem

To build the Ruby code into a gem:

gem build mux_ruby.gemspec

Then either install the gem locally:

gem install ./mux_ruby-3.19.0.gem

(for development, run gem install --dev ./mux_ruby-3.19.0.gem to install the development dependencies)

or publish the gem to a gem hosting service, e.g. RubyGems.

Finally add this to the Gemfile:

gem 'mux_ruby', '~> 3.19.0'

Install from Git

If the Ruby gem is hosted at a git repository: https://github.com/GIT_USER_ID/GIT_REPO_ID, then add the following in the Gemfile:

gem 'mux_ruby', :git => 'https://github.com/GIT_USER_ID/GIT_REPO_ID.git'

Include the Ruby code directly

Include the Ruby code directly using -I as follows:

ruby -Ilib script.rb

Getting Started

Overview

Mux Ruby is a code generated lightweight wrapper around the Mux REST API and reflects them accurately. This has a few consequences you should watch out for:

1. For almost all API responses, the object you're looking for will be in the data field on the API response object, as in the example below. This is because we designed our APIs with similar concepts to the JSON:API standard. This means we'll be able to return more metadata from our API calls (such as related entities) without the need to make breaking changes to our APIs. We've decided not to hide that in this library.

2. We don't use a lot of object orientation. For example API calls that happen on a single asset don't exist in the asset class, but are API calls in the AssetsApi which require an asset ID.

Authentication

To use the Mux API, you'll need an access token and a secret. Details on obtaining these can be found here in the Mux documentation.

Its up to you to manage your token and secret. In our examples, we read them from MUX_TOKEN_ID and MUX_TOKEN_SECRET in your environment.

Example Usage

Below is a quick example of using Mux Ruby to list the Video assets stored in your Mux account.

Be sure to also checkout the examples directory:

• List Assets, Live Streams, Signing Keys, and Uploads.
• Create an Asset, wait for it to become availiable, and print its playback URL
• Create a new Live Stream and retrieve its Stream key.

There's also example usage of every API call (also used for testing):

• Video
  • Assets
  • Live Streams
  • Signing Keys
  • Uploads
• Data
  • Errors
  • Exports
  • Filters
  • Metrics
  • Video Views

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'mux_ruby'

# Auth Setup
openapi = MuxRuby.configure do |config|
  config.username = ENV['MUX_TOKEN_ID']
  config.password = ENV['MUX_TOKEN_SECRET']
end

# API Client Init
assets_api = MuxRuby::AssetsApi.new

# List Assets
puts "Listing Assets in account:\n\n"

assets = assets_api.list_assets()
assets.data.each do | asset |
  puts "Asset ID: #{asset.id}"
  puts "Status: #{asset.status}"
  puts "Duration: #{asset.duration.to_s}\n\n"
end

Exceptions & Error Handling

All errors inherit from ApiError, you can catch it or you can catch one of the more specific Errors below.

NotFoundError

NotFoundError is thrown when a resource is not found. This is useful when trying to get an entity by its ID, for example get_asset("some-id-here") in the AssetsApi.

UnauthorizedError

UnauthorizedError is thrown when Mux cannot authenticate your request. You should check you have configured your credentials correctly.

ServiceError

ServiceError is thrown when Mux returns a HTTP 5XX Status Code. If you encounter this reproducibly, please get in touch with support@mux.com.
