bundle

Set your API key

The demos use the staging endpoint by default so use your provided staging key:

export SHOTSTACK_KEY=your_key_here

Windows users (Command Prompt):

set SHOTSTACK_KEY=your_key_here

You can get an API key via the Shotstack web site.

Run an example

The examples directory includes a number of examples demonstrating the capabilities of the Shotstack API.

Rendering

To run a rendering/editing example run the examples at the root of the examples folder, e.g. to run the images video example:

ruby examples/images.rb

Polling

To check the status of a render, similar to polling run the status.rb example with the render ID, e.g.:

ruby examples/status.rb 8b844085-779c-4c3a-b52f-d79deca2a960

Asset management

To look up assets hosted by Shotstack run the examples in the examples/serve-api directory.

Find assets by render ID:

ruby examples/serve-api/renderId.rb 8b844085-779c-4c3a-b52f-d79deca2a960

or
