Getting Started

The first thing you’ll need to do is import the API module and specify connection details for your feederd daemon. You will obviously need to change the hostname, and possibly the port if you overrode the default of 8001. After this call is made, you’re ready to start submitting encoding jobs.

import media_nommer_api
from media_nommer_api.presets.video_basic import web_medium

api = media_nommer_api.connect('http://localhost:8001')

response = api.job_submit(
    # Source file to encode.
    's3://YOUR_AWS_ID:YOUR_AWS_SECRET@SOME_BUCKET/infilename.mp4',
    # Destination for the encoding.
    's3://YOUR_AWS_ID:YOUR_AWS_SECRET@SOME_BUCKET2/outfilename.mp4',
    # The encoding preset to use.
    web_medium(),
)

Encoding Presets

You’ll notice in the example above that we use the media_nommer_api.presets.video_basic.web_medium() encoding preset. Presets determine the options that get passed to the encoder, ffmpeg in this case. While this package comes with a number of Encoding Presets, you are encouraged to create your own that are specialized to your usage case.

API Call Documentation

You’ll now want to review the API Reference to see what calls are available.
