Demo: Dailymotion Stream URLs server

Architecture

Requirements

• GIT
• (either) Make and Docker
• (or) A local version of python 3.11 with PDM and a Redis server
• Private API credentials

Installation

• Clone the project on your server and, if outside of Docker, run pdm install.

• Store your private API credentials in .secrets/dailymotion_api_credentials.json with the following format:

    {
        "DAILYMOTION_API_KEY_ID": "<client_id>",
        "DAILYMOTION_API_KEY_SECRET": "<client_secret>"
    }
  

Usage

Start the application

Docker installation

Run make up on the server.

Local installation

Note: you need a Redis server. You can start one by launching make up-redis but it requires Make and Docker.

Launch bin/refresh-access-token-cache.sh in a seperate terminal, or as a daemon.

Then run bin/start-api.sh.

Fetch stream URLs

From your client browse to http://<your-server-ip>:8000/stream-urls?video_id=<video_id>&video_formats=<format1<,format2>>

Note About End-User IP

The Stream URLs Server gets the end-user IP address from the HTTP request made by the latter.

It can also read the IP address as an additional query string parameter: &client_ip=<client_ip>.

Note About HLS

HLS stream urls may not work locally due to CORS
