Overview

This is a Python client for the Transloadit service, which is a cloud encoder for images, video, and other content that needs marshalling around the internet. Before you get started you'll want to enable API authentication.

Usage

The following example shows you how to import an image from somewhere on the internet and run it through one of your templates.

from transloadit.client import Client

AUTH_KEY = 'Your_Key_Here'
AUTH_SECRET = 'Your_Secret_Here'

client = Client(AUTH_KEY, AUTH_SECRET)
params = {
    'steps': {
        ':original': {
            'robot': '/http/import',
            'url': 'http://example.com/some_image.jpg'
        }
    },
    'template_id': 'your_template_id_here'
}

result = client.request(**params)
print result

Installing on Python 2.6 or older

The package depends on the json module added in Python 2.7, but we fall back to importing simplejson if json is not available. To make python-transloadit to work in Python 2.6 or older, install simplejson:

$ pip install simplejson
