Models

Rate Limiting

api.video implements rate limiting to ensure fair usage and stability of the service. The API provides the rate limit values in the response headers for any API requests you make. The /auth endpoint is the only route without rate limitation.

In this Node.js client, you can access these headers by using the *WithResponseHeaders() versions of the methods. These methods return both the response body and the headers, allowing you to check the X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Retry-After headers to understand your current rate limit status.

Read more about these response headers in the API reference.

Here is an example of how to use these methods:

const client = new ApiVideoClient({ apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY" });
const { body: videos, headers } = await client.videos.listWithResponseHeaders();
console.log('Rate Limit:', headers['x-ratelimit-limit']);
console.log('Rate Limit Remaining:', headers['x-ratelimit-remaining']);
console.log('Rate Limit Retry after:', headers['x-ratelimit-retry-after']);

Authorization

API key

Most endpoints required to be authenticated using the API key mechanism described in our documentation. The access token generation mechanism is automatically handled by the client.

All you have to do is provide an API key when instantiating the ApiVideoClient:

const client = new ApiVideoClient({ apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY" });

Get the access token

If you need to access the access-token value obtained using the API key, you can use the getAccessToken() method of the client:

const client = new ApiVideoClient({ apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY" });
const accessToken = await client.getAccessToken();

Public endpoints

Some endpoints don't require authentication. These one can be called with an ApiVideoClient instantiated without API key:

const client = new ApiVideoClient();
