How to Work with Channel Groups

A group of channels can be associated with a group access token. The group access token can be used for

Enumerating channels and get access to each channel individually.
Performing operations on a group of channels.

In all examples below, GROUP_ACCESS_TOKEN should be replaced with an actual group access token received from your integrator or using API.

Enumerating channels and getting access to each channel individually

Returning a list of channels

curl -X GET "https://web.skyvr.videoexpertsgroup.com/api/v5/channels/" 
     -H "accept: application/json" 
     -H "Authorization: SI GROUP_ACCESS_TOKEN

Example of a response:

{
  "meta": {
    "limit": 20,
    "next": null,
    "offset": 0,
    "previous": null,
    "total_count": 2
  },
  "objects": [
    {
      "id": 237832,
      "name": "driveway",
      "recording": false,
      "status": "inactive",
      "token": "eyJjYW1pZCI6IDIzNzgzMiwgImNtbmdyaWQiOiAyMzgyNjgsICJhY2Nlc3MiOiAiYWxsIiwgInRva2VuIjogInNoYXJlLmV5SnphU0k2SURJeE1qSTJNMzAuNjBjMTM1MDZ0YmMxZmFiMDAuNkxSbWdmcjYtV3M3b1RkQUhGdGVvcVVHQ21JIiwgImFwaSI6ICJ3ZWIuc2t5dnIudmlkZW9leHBlcnRzZ3JvdXAuY29tIiwgImNhbSI6ICJjYW0uc2t5dnIudmlkZW9leHBlcnRzZ3JvdXAuY29tIn0="
    },
    {

      "name": "room",
      "recording": false,

      "token": "eyJjYW1pZCI6IDIzNzgzMywgImNtbmdyaWQiOiAyMzgyNjksICJhY2Nlc3MiOiAiYWxsIiwgInRva2VuIjogInNoYXJlLmV5SnphU0k2SURJeE1qSTJObjAuNjBjMTM4N2R0YmMxZmFiMDAuemVPRXRTSnZ1ZjVaTDRPZkkyWGVQdmpJSjA4IiwgImFwaSI6ICJ3ZWIuc2t5dnIudmlkZW9leHBlcnRzZ3JvdXAuY29tIiwgImNhbSI6ICJjYW0uc2t5dnIudmlkZW9leHBlcnRzZ3JvdXAuY29tIn0="

  ]
}

Here token is an access token of an individual channel. This token can be used for retrieving live and recorded video, generating images and clips. See How to Get Video, Clips and Images for more details.

For returning information about one selected channel from the group, the following function can be used:

curl -X GET "https://web.skyvr.videoexpertsgroup.com/api/v5/channels/236716/" 
     -H "accept: application/json" 
     -H "Authorization: SI GROUP_ACCESS_TOKEN

Here 236716 is the id of the channel.

Performing operations on a group of channels

The following operations can be performed on a group of channels:

Creating clips.
Extracting images.
Retrieving recorded video.

The syntax is similar to corresponding operations on individual channels. For example, creating clips for a group of channels:
