Documentation for API (Version 3)

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the the documentation link. I can make the testconsole do what I need it do do, but I can't seem to make it match my Kaltura client API code. I want to simply pull back info on a specific video. The testconsole does that great. However, when I use the getEntry() function call, it says i'm missing a parameter. I don't even see a getEntry() function in the API code. The testconsole used media.get, which I assume to be the same as this: http://www.kaltura.com/api_v3/testmeDoc/index.php?service=media&action=get.

So, I'm a little frustrated and confused.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Keith

It's probably because the documentation linked to here is for API Version 3, and the PHP library is build on an older version of the API. Unless someone from Kaltura can come up with any better suggestions, I think you have two options:

1. Ignore the PHP library for now and rewrite your code to work with API3 using the documentation provided.
2. Ignore API3 for now, use the current PHP library and refer to the outdated wiki (http://wiki.kaltura.org) for help.

To be honest, I'm just as confused as you! All the current Kaltura projects (i.e. Wordpress, Drupal, Remix, etc.) all seem to be based on the old version of the API (which is based around KShows) and yet Kaltura CE seems to use API3 instead.

As I'm not using Kaltura CE personally - I've just been using the old API (with all its KShow glory), and referring to the wiki whenever I get lost.

Sorry I can't be of more help!

Best Regards, Chris!

Updated a few guides - this should better clarify things.

• Kaltura API and TestMe Console Introduction
• Kaltura API Client Libraries Guide
• Kaltura Gallery Services (KGallery)
• Thumbnail API and ThumbnailRotator.

Coming up later this week: system architecture overview, terminology and in-depth API usage guide.
