Content Management

Overview

Managing content within the Fastevo Media Protection Platform (Fastevo MP2) allows you to perform various operations such as creating, modifying, deleting content, and managing folders. This can be done using the API by performing requests to the appropriate endpoints.

Getting Media Contents List with Pagination

To retrieve a list of media contents with pagination, you need to perform a GET request to the following endpoint:

GET https://api.fastevo.net/api/v1/projects/mediaProtection/contents

You can include the following query parameters to customize the response: page, limit, orderBy, order, filter, folderPath, status, contentType.

Query Parameters

• page (optional): The page number to retrieve.
• limit (optional): The number of items per page.
• orderBy (optional): The field to order by. Options are title, contentType, status, _id.
• order (optional): The order direction. Options are asc for ascending and desc for descending.
• filter (optional): A string to filter the contents based on title or id.
• folderPath (optional): The folder path to filter the contents. If * is specified, it looks for contents in any folder. If left null or empty, it will look only in the root folder.
• status (optional): Provide one or more status values separated by commas (e.g., status=ready,processing,error).
  If multiple statuses are provided, it will return contents matching any of those statuses (an OR filter).
• contentType (optional): Provide one or more content types separated by commas (e.g., contentType=video,audio).
  If multiple types are provided, it will return contents matching any of those types (an OR filter).

API Response

The API will return a response with a status code of 200 and a JSON body containing the list of media contents along with pagination details.

  • _id: The unique identifier of the media content.
  • aspectRatio: The aspect ratio of the media content.
  • createdAt: The timestamp when the content was created, in ISO 8601 format.
  • title: The title of the media content.

  • status: The current status of the content (for example, "ready").
    Possible values: pendingUpload, queued, processing, deleting, ready, error.

Ordering and Filtering

To order the media contents by their creation date, you should query the order on _id. This represents a similar ordering to createdAt since the _id field is generated based on the creation time.

You can also use the filter query parameter to filter the contents based on the title or id. To look in any folder, set folderPath to *.

Additionally, you can filter by status and contentType if needed.

Getting Media Content

To retrieve details of a specific piece of content, you need to perform a GET request to the following endpoint:

GET https://api.fastevo.net/api/v1/projects/mediaProtection/contents/{contentId}

Replace {contentId} with the actual contentId of the media content you wish to retrieve.

PUT https://api.fastevo.net/api/v1/projects/mediaProtection/contents/{contentId}

Replace {contentId} with the actual contentId of the media content you wish to modify.

• folderPath (optional): The new folder path within Fastevo where the content will be stored.
• watermarkProfile (optional): The name of the new watermark profile to apply to the content.

Example Request

{
  "title": "New title",

  "watermarkProfile": "TWM1",
  "tags": ["newTag1", "newTag2"]
}

API Response

After successfully modifying the content, the API will return a response with a status code of 200 and a JSON body indicating success. If no changes are made, the API will return a status code of 204.

Example Success Response

{
  "success": true
}

Deleting Media Content

To delete a specific piece of content, you need to perform a DELETE request to the following endpoint:

DELETE https://api.fastevo.net/api/v1/projects/mediaProtection/contents/{contentId}

Replace {contentId} with the actual contentId of the media content you wish to delete.

Trash Mechanism

• If the content is in pendingUpload or queued status, it will be deleted immediately, as there is no finalized content to preserve.
• For any other status, deleting the content will move it to a “trash” area, where it is retained for 30 days. During this period, content remains secure in case of accidents or unauthorized account access.
• After 30 days (if not restored), the content will be permanently deleted from the system.
• Restoring content from trash or viewing its details in trash requires the use of specific trash endpoints. For more information, refer to Content Trash Documentation.

API Response

• After successfully moving the content to trash (or deleting it if it was in pendingUpload), the API will return a response with:
  • 204 status code for a successful deletion or move to trash.

Creating a Folder

To create a new folder, you need to perform a POST request to the following endpoint:

POST https://api.fastevo.net/api/v1/projects/mediaProtection/contents/folders

The request body should include the folderPath parameter.

Example Request

{
  "folderPath": "/newFolder"
}

API Response

After successfully creating the folder, the API will return a response with a status code of 201 and a JSON body indicating success.

Deleting a Folder

To delete a specific folder, you need to perform a DELETE request to the following endpoint:

DELETE https://api.fastevo.net/api/v1/projects/mediaProtection/contents/folders

The request body should include the folderPath parameter.

Example Request

{
  "folderPath": "/folderToDelete"
}

Important Note

If the folder contains any content, it cannot be deleted unless all content has been deleted or moved to trash. You must first delete or move all content within the folder before attempting to delete the folder itself.

API Response

After successfully deleting the folder, the API will return a response with a status code of 204.
