# REST API quick start
|
|
|
|
## Detect a PeerTube instance
|
|
|
|
There are several ways to know if a website uses the PeerTube software:
|
|
|
|
* The server exposes NodeInfo information: https://peertube2.cpy.re/nodeinfo/2.0.json
|
|
* The server sends a `x-powered-by: PeerTube` header response to API requests
|
|
* HTML pages include a `<meta property="og:platform" content="PeerTube">` tag
|
|
|
|
## Authentication
|
|
|
|
### Get client
|
|
|
|
Some endpoints need authentication. We use OAuth 2.0 so first fetch the client tokens:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl https://peertube.example.com/api/v1/oauth-clients/local
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Response example:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"client_id": "v1ikx5hnfop4mdpnci8nsqh93c45rldf",
|
|
"client_secret": "AjWiOapPltI6EnsWQwlFarRtLh4u8tDt"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Get user token
|
|
|
|
Now you can fetch the user token:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST \
|
|
-d "client_id=v1ikx5hnfop4mdpnci8nsqh93c45rldf&client_secret=AjWiOapPltI6EnsWQwlFarRtLh4u8tDt&grant_type=password&response_type=code&username=your_user&password=your_password" \
|
|
https://peertube.example.com/api/v1/users/token
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Response example:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"access_token": "90286a0bdf0f7315d9d3fe8dabf9e1d2be9c97d0",
|
|
"token_type": "Bearer",
|
|
"expires_in": 14399,
|
|
"refresh_token": "2e0d675df9fc96d2e4ec8a3ebbbf45eca9137bb7"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Just use the `access_token` in the `Authorization` header:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer 90286a0bdf0f7315d9d3fe8dabf9e1d2be9c97d0' https://peertube.example.com/api/v1/jobs/completed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## List videos
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl https://peertube.example.com/api/v1/videos
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Libraries
|
|
|
|
[Convenience libraries](https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/clients) are generated automatically from the [OpenAPI specification](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/support/doc/api/openapi.yaml) for the following languages:
|
|
|
|
- [python](https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/clients/python)
|
|
- [go](https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/clients/go)
|
|
- [kotlin](https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/clients/kotlin)
|
|
|
|
Other [languages supported by the OpenAPI generator](https://openapi-generator.tech/docs/generators/#client-generators) can be added to the generation, provided they make a common enough use case.
