The FastPix Node.js SDK, written in typescript, simplifies integration with the FastPix platform. This SDK is designed for secure and efficient communication with the FastPix API, enabling easy management of media uploads, live streaming, and simulcasting. It is intended for use with Node.js (version >= 18).
-
- Upload Media: Upload media files seamlessly from URLs or devices.
- Manage Media: Perform operations such as listing, fetching, updating, and deleting media assets.
- Playback IDs: Generate and manage playback IDs for media access.
-
- Create & Manage Live Streams:: Create, list, update, and delete live streams effortlessly.
- Control Stream Access: Generate playback IDs for live streams to control and manage access.
- Simulcast to Multiple Platforms: Stream content to multiple platforms simultaneously.
For detailed usage, refer to the FastPix API Reference.
To get started with the FastPix Node SDK, ensure you have the following:
-
The FastPix APIs are authenticated using an Access Token and a Secret Key. You must generate these credentials to use the SDK.
-
Follow the steps in the Authentication with Access Tokens guide to obtain your credentials.
To install the SDK, you can use npm or your favourite node package manager 😉:
npm install @fastpix/fastpix-nodeDepending on your project setup, you can import the SDK using either import or require.
If your project supports ES Modules, use the import syntax:
import Client from "@fastpix/fastpix-node";If you're using CommonJS modules, you can use require:
const Client = require("@fastpix/fastpix-node").default;Initialize the FastPix SDK with your API credentials.
import Client from "@fastpix/fastpix-node";
const fastpix = new Client({
accessTokenId: "your-access-token-id",
secretKey: "your-secret-key",
});Below is an example of configuring FastPix Node SDK into your project.
// Using import (ES Modules)
import Client from "@fastpix/fastpix-node";
// or using require (CommonJS)
// const Client = require("@fastpix/fastpix-node").default;
// Initialize the FastPix SDK with your Access Token ID and Secret Key
const fastpix = new Client({
accessTokenId: "your-access-token-id", // Replace with your Access Token ID
secretKey: "your-secret-key", // Replace with your Secret Key
});
