TubeArchivist API

Documentation of available API endpoints.
Note: This is very early alpha and will change!

Authentication

API token will get automatically created, accessible on the settings page. Token needs to be passed as an authorization header with every request. Additionally session based authentication is enabled too: When you are logged into your TubeArchivist instance, you'll have access to the api in the browser for testing.

Curl example:

curl -v /api/video/<video-id>/ \
    -H "Authorization: Token xxxxxxxxxx"

Python requests example:

import requests

url = "/api/video/<video-id>/"
headers = {"Authorization": "Token xxxxxxxxxx"}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
