opentok-rest

Unofficial OpenTok REST API for Node. Not all features are available in the official Node client (most BETA features), this is why we made this module.

Getting started

npm install opentok-rest
// or
yarn install opentok-rest

const OpenTokRest = require('opentok-rest')
const opentok = new OpenTokRest('opentok-key', 'opentok-secret')

Broadcast

Start a broadcast

opentok.broadcast.start(sessionId, outputs)
  .then(broadcast => {
    // resolves an opentok broadcast object.
  })

See doc for an example object: https://tokbox.com/developer/rest/#start_broadcast

Start a broadcast

opentok.broadcast.stop(broadcastId)
  .then(broadcast => {
    // resolves an opentok broadcast object.
    // example response: https://tokbox.com/developer/rest/#stop_broadcast
  })
  .catch(...)
