upload

Upload new media file through an HTML form

Step 1: Get data for upload form

Input parameters

Required parameters:

  • String apikey (Project API key)
  • String title (Media title)

Optional parameters:

  • String folderCode (Code of folder)

Example request:

Text 
https://boomstream.com/api/media/upload?apikey=[API_KEY]&title=temp

Example response:

XML 
<Response>
    <UploadUrl>
        https://node.org/upload/hash:8d7cd/f1a05782f77aca5cc78647178110ac8a
    </UploadUrl>
    <ProgressBarUrl>
        https://boomstream.com/api/media/progressbar
    </ProgressBarUrl>
    <Status>Success</Status>
</Response>

Step 2: Create upload page

Create a page, e.g., "upload.php". Add an iframe tag to the body and insert the UploadUrl parameter.

Sample code:

HTML 
<body>
    <iframe src="https://localhost/iframe.php?link=<UploadUrl>">
</body>

Step 3: Create iframe page

Create a page for the "Browse" button, which will be displayed in the frame — iframe.php.

Sample code:

HTML 
<script type="text/javascript">
    function submitForm() {
        parent.runUpload();
        $('#form1').submit();
    }
</script>

<form action="<UploadUrl>" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="form1">
    <input type="file" name="file" onchange="submitForm()">
</form>

Step 4: Create progress bar proxy script

Create a proxy script to get upload status — progressbar.php.

Sample code:

Bash 
<?php
    $progressBarUrl = (isset($_GET['progressBarUrl'])) ? $_GET['progressBarUrl'] : '';
    echo @file_get_contents($progressBarUrl . '&format=json');
?>

Step 5: Add JavaScript to track upload progress

Add JavaScript code on the page upload.php to send requests to progressbar.php every second.

Sample code:

HTML 
<script type="text/javascript">
    var refreshIntervalId;
    var refresh = 1000;
    function runUpload() {
        $('#form1').submit();
        refreshIntervalId = setTimeout('getPercent()', refresh);
    }
    
    function getPercent(){
        $.get('https://localhost/progressbar.php', {progressBarUrl:"<progressBarUrl>"}, function(data){
            if(data.Action=='done') {
                console.log("DONE");
            } else {
                refreshIntervalId = setTimeout('getPercent()', refresh);
            }
        },'json');
    }
</script>

Progress response during upload:

XML 
<Response>
    <Percent>10</Percent>
    <Action>work</Action>
    ...
</Response>

Success response when upload is complete:

XML
