Initialization

Prerequisites

• You have registered an Alibaba Cloud account, completed real-name authentication, and activated ApsaraVideo for VOD.
• You have obtained an AccessKey for access to ApsaraVideo for VOD. You can create an AccessKey for your Alibaba Cloud account on the Access Key Management page of Alibaba Cloud. Alternatively, you can create a RAM user in the RAM console and grant the user the permission to access ApsaraVideo for VOD. For more information, see RAM user access.

Initialization

• Reference resources.

require_once './aliyun-php-sdk/aliyun-php-sdk-core/Config.php'; // Assume that your source code file is in the same directory as the **aliyun-php-sdk** directory.
use vod\Request\V20170321 as vod;

• Initialize a client.

function init_vod_client($accessKeyId, $accessKeySecret) {
    $regionId = 'cn-shanghai'; // The region of ApsaraVideo for VOD. Enter cn-shanghai for a region in China.
    $profile = DefaultProfile::getProfile($regionId, $accessKeyId, $accessKeySecret);
    return new DefaultAcsClient($profile);
}

Note: Enter your AccessKey information for accessKeyId and accessKeySecret.

• Define the operations to be called (the following example shows how to call the GetPlayInfo operation).

// $client indicates the client object returned through the preceding init_vod_client interface.
// $videoId indicates the video ID.
function get_play_info($client, $videoId) {
    $request = new vod\GetPlayInfoRequest();
    $request->setVideoId($videoId);
    $request->setAcceptFormat('JSON');
    return $client->getAcsResponse($request);
}

Call example

// Handle exceptions (if any).
try {
    $client = init_vod_client('<Your AccessKey ID>', '<Your AccessKey Secret>');
    $playInfo = get_play_info($client, 'Your video ID');
    var_dump($playInfo);
} catch (Exception $e) {
   print $e->getMessage();
}
