Create and manage slates

Slates are content that can be served when there are gaps in a livestream ad break that cannot be filled with a dynamically served ad. An ad may be unavailable for a number of reasons, including but not limited to the following:

• Errors occur while fetching assets from CDNs (content delivery networks)
• Errors occur during the processing of assets while stitching

Before the Video Stitcher API can insert a slate, the slate video asset must be registered. Registration is needed so that the Video Stitcher API can prepare the slate asset for insertion in the absence of ads.

This document describes how to manage slates. For more details, see the REST documentation.

Register a slate

To register a slate, use the projects.locations.slates.create method.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

• PROJECT_NUMBER: your Google Cloud project number; this is located in the Project number field on the IAM Settings page
• LOCATION: the location in which to create your slate; use one of the supported regions
  Show locations
  • us-central1
  • us-east1
  • us-west1
  • asia-east1
  • asia-south1
  • asia-southeast1
  • europe-west1
  • southamerica-east1
• SLATE_ID: A user-defined identifier for the slate. This ID can only contain lower-case letters, numbers, and hyphens. The first character must be a letter, the last character must be a letter or a number, and the entire ID has a 63 character maximum.
• SLATE_URL: the public URI for an MP4 video with at least one audio track (sample video)

To send your request, expand one of these options:

curl (Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login , or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json. Run the following command in the terminal to create or overwrite this file in the current directory:

cat > request.json << 'EOF'
{
  "uri": "SLATE_URL"
}
EOF

Then execute the following command to send your REST request:

curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
     -d @request.json \
     "https://videostitcher.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/slates?slateId=SLATE_ID"

PowerShell (Windows)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json. Run the following command in the terminal to create or overwrite this file in the current directory:

@'
{
  "uri": "SLATE_URL"
}
'@  | Out-File -FilePath request.json -Encoding utf8

Then execute the following command to send your REST request:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method POST `
    -Headers $headers `
    -ContentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8" `
    -InFile request.json `
    -Uri "https://videostitcher.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/slates?slateId=SLATE_ID" | Select-Object -Expand Content

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

{
  "name": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/operations/OPERATION_ID",
  "metadata": {
    "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.common.OperationMetadata",
    "createTime": CREATE_TIME,
    "target": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/slates/SLATE_ID",
    "verb": "create",
    "cancelRequested": false,
    "apiVersion": "v1"
  },
  "done": false
}

This command creates a long-running operation (LRO) that you can query to track progress. Copy the returned OPERATION_ID, which is the last part of the name field, to use in the next section.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

• PROJECT_NUMBER: your Google Cloud project number; this is located in the Project number field on the IAM Settings page
• LOCATION: the location to create your slate; use one of the supported regions
  Show locations
  • us-central1
  • us-east1
  • us-west1
  • asia-east1
  • asia-south1
  • asia-southeast1
  • europe-west1
  • southamerica-east1
• SLATE_ID: a user-defined identifier for the slate
• SLATE_URL: this URI must return an MP4 video with at least one audio track

To send your request, expand one of these options:

curl (Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login , or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json. Run the following command in the terminal to create or overwrite this file in the current directory:

cat > request.json << 'EOF'
{
  "uri": "SLATE_URL"
}
EOF

Then execute the following command to send your REST request:

curl -X PATCH \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
     -d @request.json \
     "https://videostitcher.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/slates/SLATE_ID?updateMask=uri"

PowerShell (Windows)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json. Run the following command in the terminal to create or overwrite this file in the current directory:

@'
{
  "uri": "SLATE_URL"
}
'@  | Out-File -FilePath request.json -Encoding utf8

Then execute the following command to send your REST request:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method PATCH `
    -Headers $headers `
    -ContentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8" `
    -InFile request.json `
    -Uri "https://videostitcher.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/slates/SLATE_ID?updateMask=uri" | Select-Object -Expand Content

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

{
  "name": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/operations/OPERATION_ID",
  "metadata": {
    "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.common.OperationMetadata",
    "createTime": CREATE_TIME,
    "target": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/slates/SLATE_ID",
    "verb": "update",
    "cancelRequested": false,
    "apiVersion": "v1"
  },
  "done": false

Ruby

Before trying this sample, follow the Ruby setup instructions in the Video Stitcher API quickstart using client libraries. For more information, see the Video Stitcher API Ruby API reference documentation.

To authenticate to Video Stitcher API, set up Application Default Credentials. For more information, see Set up authentication for a local development environment.

require "google/cloud/video/stitcher"

##
# List slates for a given location
#
# @param project_id [String] Your Google Cloud project (e.g. `my-project`)
# @param location [String] The location (e.g. `us-central1`)
#
def list_slates project_id:, location:
  # Create a Video Stitcher client.
  client = Google::Cloud::Video::Stitcher.video_stitcher_service

  # Build the resource name of the parent.
  parent = client.location_path project: project_id, location: location

  response = client.list_slates parent: parent

  puts "Slates:"
  # Print out all slates.
  response.each do |slate|
    puts slate.name
  end
end

Additional results

The curl response may include a nextPageToken, which you can use to retrieve additional results:

{
  "slates": [
    ...
  ],
  "nextPageToken": "NEXT_PAGE_TOKEN"
}

You can send another curl request, including the value of NEXT_PAGE_TOKEN, to list the additional slates. Append the following to the URL in the preceding API call:

?pageToken=NEXT_PAGE_TOKEN

See the relevant client library for more information on using this token.

Delete a slate

Note: You must manually delete all user-generated content from your project (for example, slates and CDN keys). The Video Stitcher API does not automatically delete this content, even if you remove the service or delete the project.

If a registered slate is no longer needed, delete it using the projects.locations.slates.delete method.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

• PROJECT_NUMBER: your Google Cloud project number; this is located in the Project number field on the IAM Settings page
• LOCATION: the location where your slate is located; use one of the supported regions
  Show locations
  • us-central1
  • us-east1
  • us-west1
  • asia-east1
  • asia-south1
  • asia-southeast1
  • europe-west1
  • southamerica-east1
• SLATE_ID: a user-defined identifier for the slate

To send your request, expand one of these options:

curl (Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login , or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Execute the following command:

curl -X DELETE \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     "https://videostitcher.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/slates/SLATE_ID"

PowerShell (Windows)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Execute the following command:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method DELETE `
    -Headers $headers `
    -Uri "https://videostitcher.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/slates/SLATE_ID" | Select-Object -Expand Content

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

{
  "name": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/operations/OPERATION_ID",
  "metadata": {
    "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.common.OperationMetadata",
    "createTime": CREATE_TIME,
    "target": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/slates/SLATE_ID",
    "verb": "delete",
    "cancelRequested": false,
    "apiVersion": "v1"
  },
  "done": false
}

This command creates a long-running operation (LRO) that you can query to track progress. For more information, see Check for the result.
