Quickstart

To begin using the MediaVault API, follow these simple steps to integrate and manage your media assets with ease:

Step 1: Obtain Your API Key

Before making any API requests, you will need to get an API key. This key is essential for authenticating your requests and securely accessing MediaVault services. Reach out to your MediaVault administrator to obtain the key.

Step 2: Authenticate Your Requests

Each API request you make must include the API key for authentication. This is done by adding an Authorization header with the value Bearer YOUR_API_KEY. Ensure that every request is authenticated to avoid errors and ensure secure communication.

-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Step 3: Test Your Connection

To ensure everything is set up correctly, start with a basic API call to retrieve a list of media assets using the GET /media endpoint.

curl -X GET "https://api.mediavaultplus.com/media" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

This will return a list of media assets in your account.

Step 4: Explore Available API Endpoints

With authentication in place, you can now explore the full range of API endpoints. These endpoints allow you to upload, manage, and retrieve media files, as well as handle other functionalities like user management and metadata updates. Visit the API documentation to find detailed information about each available endpoint.

Step 5: Build and Integrate

Now that you're familiar with the API structure and have successfully tested your connection, you can start building your application. Use the comprehensive API features to integrate MediaVault’s media management capabilities into your platform, ensuring a seamless experience for your users.
