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)

Pagination

The list views return a paginate object with the following keys:

• page_size: int current page size set in config
• page_from: int first result idx
• prev_pages: array of ints of previous pages, if available
• current_page: int current page from query
• max_hits: reached: bool if max of 10k results is reached
• last_page: int of last page link
• next_pages: array of ints of next pages
• total_hits: int total results

Pass page number as a query parameter: page=2. Defaults to 0, page=1 is redundant and falls back to 0. If a page query doesn't return any results, you'll get HTTP 404 Not Found.
