# Like posting clips everywhere?
|
|
|
|
So do I, especially with friends when something interesting/funny happens.
|
|
I also don't like relying on others to host content for me so I made this to do
|
|
exactly that.
|

|
|
You can post whatever you want because its your content, your site, your rules.
|
|
|
|
# How does it work?
|
|
|
|
Well clips that you upload to your server are organized into categories and
|
|
served from there. Categories can have thumbnails too so they look distinct
|
|
but that's up to you to setup.
|
|
|
|
# Can I make a script to get videos?
|
|
|
|
Sure the public API is actually really simple:
|
|
|
|
These are basically all the routes you'll need
|
|
|
|
* GET `/api/categories/list`
|
|
|
|
Lists out the categories available
|
|
|
|
* GET `/api/category/<category-name>`
|
|
|
|
Lists out the videos for that given category
|
|
|
|
* GET `/video/<category>/<file>`
|
|
|
|
Fetches the video file itself named by `file`
|
|
|
|
|
|
# How easy is it to upload videos?
|
|
|
|
Right now you just need to drop a video file into a sub-folder of your server's
|
|
videos directory. So if you had `/media/videos` then you would put a video into
|
|
a folder like `/media/videos/cool-clips/` or whatever else it's named.
|
|
|
|
Currently I'm working on making a simple clip-uploading tool that would also take
|
|
care of generating the appropriate thumbnails for you.
