At VideoCoin, we realize that even though we love the blockchain and decentralized infrastructure, it is always a challenge for new-comers to build and integrate with a blockchain.

To expand our reach to a wider developer population, we are extremely glad to announce the availability of VideoCoin REST APIs and newly published developer documentation pages, which you can access at https://docs.videocoin.network/

You can interact with the VideoCoin API using standard REST API libraries like requests on python.

We will be publishing Get Started guides for python, ruby, go, PHP, node and others soon.

Note: You will need to create a Publisher Studio Account and fund it with VID tokens before you can start live streaming.

Get API access token

The VideoCoin API uses an access token that can be obtained from your account settings page. Follow these steps to generate your access token:

1. Sign up for an account

2. Go to your ‘Account Settings’ page

3. Click on “Create Token” and give the token a personalized name

4. Click ‘Generate Token’ to save your token

IMPORTANT: Save the access token that appears in the “Access Token” box for future use. For security reasons, you cannot see the token again after closing this window.

Treat this access token like a password and store it appropriately.

Now that you have an access token, you can begin working with the developer APIs.
