API calls Syntax

Base-URL for our API is https://api.pstream.net/v1 (note the v1 for version 1 behind the /)
All requests to the API shall be HTTP GET or POST

Most requests require a API Login & API Key, you can find both in the User Panel.

Please make sure to use the API with HTTPS only.

Responses are in JSON, structure is as follows: 
{
     "status": "status-code",
     "msg": "informational message. might vary, use the status code in your code!",
     "result": "result of the request. varies depending on the request"
}
API status responses

200Everything is OK. Request succeeded
400Bad request (e.g. wrong parameters)
403Permission denied (wrong api login/key, action on a file which does not belong to you, …)
404Video not found
50xServer errors. You should not see this, but be prepared.
API message and results
Key # Text
msg This message gives more detailed information in case there is an error. You can use this for displaying it to the user, but please don’t use it for checking if the request succeeded. That’s what the status code is for.
