Notifications for Dynamic Ingest

Dynamic Ingest API notifications

You can specify one or more callback URLs to receive notifications for the results of the ingest process. The URLs you specify should be for apps that can accept POST requests. Notifications will be sent in JSON format.

Setup

Here’s an example.

User with pub id 57838016001
Wants to use Dynamic Ingest to upload a source video file located at https://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket/mysourcevideo.mp4
Wants to upload an existing title in the catalog with video id 5199670523001
Using the multi-platform-standard-static profile
Wants to receive callbacks at two endpoints located at https://host1/path1 and https://host2/path2 respectively

The DI request would look like this:

POST Request

https://ingest.api.brightcove.com/v1/accounts/57838016001/videos/5199670523001/ingest-requests

Request body

    {
      "master": {
        "url": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket/mysourcevideo.mp4"
      },
      "profile": "multi-platform-standard-static",
      "callbacks": ["https://host1/path1”, “https://host2/path2”]
    }

Sample notification

Notifications are sent as POST requests with the notification in the request body as JSON. Here is a full set of notifications from a typical video ingest job:

Notification fields

Item	Description
`status`	will be `FAILED` if the ingest or creation of a rendition was not successful, `SUCCESS` if the request succeeded
`accountId`	the account id
`videoId`	the video id
`jobId`	the job id for the Dynamic Ingest request
`entity`	either the name of the entity, or the Video Cloud id of the video for the TITLE
`entityType`	the kind of asset reported on - for example: TITLE (a video), DIGITAL_MASTER, ASSET (a rendition, captions file, or image)
`bitrate`	bitrate for a rendition
`width`	frame-width for a rendition
`height`	frame-height for a rendition
`errorMessage`	an explanation of why the ingest failed if it did
`version`	a string always equal to `"1"`
`action`	the action that occurred - for example, CREATE

Interpreting notifications

A notification containing "action": "CREATE" and "status": "SUCCESS" indicates completion of a process.

If the entityType is TITLE, then processing of an ingested video is complete.
For entityType: TITLE, action: PUBLISH refers to the time the video is activated. For videos that are immediately active, this will be approximately the same time as the CREATE time.
If the entityType is ASSET, DYNAMIC_RENDITION or DIGITAL_MASTER, then a rendition, image, manifest, WebVTT file, or digital master has been successfully added to your video.

Note: a "status": "SUCCESS" on a title indicates that processing is complete, but does not necessarily mean that it was all renditions were created successfully. To determine whether Dynamic Ingest of videos was successful, see Get Status of Dynamic Ingest Requests.

Firewalls

In case your organization has a strict policy regarding sources of incoming traffic through your firewall, we allow the AWS us-east-1/Virginia IPs. This is subject to change, so all AWS IPs should be whitelisted. See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-ip-ranges.html for more information.
