Question

Edit: I think I’ve figured out how to do the binary data part. Double check it in the code, but I’m pretty sure I’ve got it right. Now I’m getting a new error when trying to complete the upload as described in the Vimeo API documentation

Edit 2: Added .debug() to the OAuthService and updated the output.

Original Question: I’m trying to upload a video to Vimeo using the Vimeo API (Streaming Method). I’m using scribe to authorize my app, get my access token and prepare for the video upload. I just don’t know what to do at the point the Vimeo API documentation says “binary data of your file here” in this example of a HTTP request for the PUT:

PUT http://1.2.3.4:8080/upload?ticket_id=abcdef124567890 HTTP/1.1

Host: 1.2.3.4:8080

Content-Length: 339108

Content-Type: video/mp4

…. binary data of your file here ….

I can get the ticket and headers fine. It’s just, what do I do to insert the binary data of my file?

Notes:

• It’s a desktop app in Java
• It’s a small video file I’m testing

Here’s my code for the put (remember, I’m using scribe)

// Setup File (line 52)
File testUp = new File("C:/Users/Kent/Desktop/test.mp4");
String contentLength = Long.toString(testUp.length());
System.out.println("The content length is: " + contentLength);
byte[] fileBytes = ByteStreams.toByteArray(new FileInputStream(testUp));

// Upload file (line 58)
request = new OAuthRequest(Verb.PUT, endpoint);
request.addHeader("Content-Length", contentLength);
request.addHeader("Content-Type", "video/mp4");
request.addPayload(fileBytes);
response = signSendAndPrint(service, accessToken, request, "Upload PUT: " + endpoint);

// Check response code is valid (line 65)
if (response.getCode() != 200) {
  System.out.println("The response was not 200! It was: " + response.getCode());
  return;
}

// Verify the upload (line 71)
request = new OAuthRequest(Verb.PUT, endpoint);
request.addHeader("Content-Length", "0");
request.addHeader("Content-Range", "bytes */*");
response = signSendAndPrint(service, accessToken, request, "Verify Upload PUT: " + endpoint);

// Check response code is valid (line 77)
if (response.getCode() != 308) {
  System.out.println("The response was not 308! It was: " + response.getCode());
  return;
}

// Complete Upload (line 83)
request = new OAuthRequest(Verb.PUT, endpoint);
request.addQuerystringParameter("method", "vimeo.videos.upload.complete");
Response completeResponse = signSendAndPrint(service, accessToken, request, "complete"); // This is line 86, it's the second to top level of my code that breaks the process.

//Set video info (line 88)
setVimeoVideoInfo(completeResponse, service, accessToken, vimeoAPIURL);
  }



/**
   * Signs the request on the service, prints information on the request, sends the request, prints
   * information on the response and returns the response
   *
   * @param service
   * @param accessToken
   * @param request
   * @param description
   * @return
   */
  private static Response signSendAndPrint(OAuthService service, Token accessToken, OAuthRequest request, String description) {
    service.signRequest(accessToken, request);
    printRequest(request, description + " Request");
    Response response = request.send(); //This is line 105. It's the top level of my code that breaks the process
    printResponse(response, description + " Response");
    return response;
  }

Output of the signSendAndPrint(OAuthService service, Token accessToken, OAuthRequest request, String description) method and on the OAuthService.debug():

Answer 1

You need to append two other parameters when completing the upload. Vimeo API documentation says you need three parameters for vimeo.videos.upload.complete: filename, oauth_token and ticket_id. scribe takes care of the oauth_token for you.

Furthermore, you have to call the original endpoint, not the one obtained when requesting a ticket.
