REST api usage

[Gabriel T]

Hello
im trying to make rest calls with jquery, but i have a 415 (unsupported media type) error. here is my script:

function getActiveStreams() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
dataType:"json",
contentType:"application/json",
url: "https://myserverwcs5:8888/rest-api/stream/find",
processData: false,
contentType: false,
data: '{"name":"<?=$_SESSION['roomID']; ?>"}'
}).done(function( response ) {
console.log(response);
});
}

additionnaly there is allow origin error (my call is made from a different server where wcs is installed)

thank you

You set

contentType: false

That's why it does not work.

Regarding cross-domain issue, we will check if we can avoid this.

 

[Gabriel T]

damned, should have seen that one
its getting better but yes cross domain issue still exists, will try with curl requests and php

 

[Gabriel T]

been able to have it working by making a curl url from php file hosted on same server as wcs, and loading this php from remote server.
so far i retrieve all streams currently connected. i would need to get only published streams in specific room to have lighter requests. have been able to retrieve what i want using rest-api/stream/find/name insteand of rest-api/stream/find_all.

is the "name" filter of the fin method is related to room name or stream name ? said differently, is it possible to list only streams connected to specific room ?

thank you

As you can see from docs,
https://flashphoner.com/docs/wcs5/wcs_docs/html/en/wcs-rest-api/index.html?return_objects.htm
Stream has following filters:

• name
• mediaSessionId
• status
• published

name is name of stream, for examples room-alice-b7c6 (for stream participating in the room)
published - true if stream is publishing, false if stream is playing back (subscriber).
Therefore you have to find all streams with published:true then filter them by room name.

yes this is what i finally did, even though i think its a bit heavy process (i mean it will make big queries when there will be hundreds or thousands of connections...) having room name as filter would make these requests much lighter. but its working, thank you

We can add a simple regexp filter for stream name.
For example,
name:stream*
To select all streams stream1, stream2, etc.
It should help to reduce selection weight.

additionnaly there is allow origin error (my call is made from a different server where wcs is installed)

We have added CORS headers for API urls like:
/rest-api/stream
etc
So it should work cross-domain now.
You can update to the latest build 2323

service webcallserver update
