Authenticate
Use your favorite development language or command line tool to POST your username and password to the Accounts.Login class method. This will establish a session with the service. The service will respond to your HTTP request with a JSON data structure including a session ID and token which will be used to authenticate your subsequent API requests.
Deliver Your Video
Use the Asset.Get class method to retrieve your video's player embed code, streaming URL, download URL, and permalink URL.
Add Metadata to a Video
The Squeeze Stream API also supports arbitrary metadata. You can use the Metadata class to add key/value pairs to your assets, and the Tags class to assign descriptive keywords. Each class offers GET methods so you can easily search your content library and retrieve salient results.
