doodstream API

[husterdusk]

Doodstream is a platform for storing videos and sharing them on social networks and personal websites. In addition, videos can be monetized. Many users have difficulty setting up the API, but it is quite simple to understand. Here is a small project to display your Doodstream videos remotely on your pages.

Important: never share your API data.

(1)
Installing your API

Code: Select all

$apiKey = '*******'; // Your API
$apiBaseUrl = 'https://doodapi.com/api';

(2) Making request

Code: Select all

 
function makeApiRequest($endpoint, $apiKey) {
    $url = $endpoint . '?key=' . $apiKey;

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    $output = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);

    return json_decode($output, true);
}

(3) function with the "endpoint" of videos to call the list

Code: Select all

$videosEndpoint = $apiBaseUrl . '/file/list';
$response = makeApiRequest($videosEndpoint, $apiKey);

(4) If the response is successful (status == 200), it will go through the API and bring the thumbnail and the link of the videos. It can also be changed to go to a parameter of its own page.

Code: Select all

echo '<div class="container">';
 
if ($response && $response['status'] == 200) {
    $videos = $response['result']['files'];
    foreach ($videos as $video) {
        echo '<div class="video-item">';
        if (isset($video['single_img']) && !empty($video['single_img'])) {
            echo '<div class="video-thumbnail"><img src="' . $video['single_img'] . '" alt="' . $video['title'] . '"></div>';
        } else {
            echo '<div class="video-thumbnail"><img src="default_thumbnail.jpg" alt="No Thumbnail"></div>';
        }
        echo '<div class="video-info">';
        echo '<h3><a href="' . $video['download_url'] . '">' . $video['title'] . '</a></h3>';
        echo '</div>';
        echo '</div>';
    }
} else {
    echo 'Error   list: ' . $response['msg'];
}

echo '</div>';

The result of code above with the implementation of just a simple CSS. We can also add a request for research by tags and video nicknames and make an implementation in the search bar
