Video CDN – Text redirect API

Video CDN – Text redirect API

To get a streaming server redirect as plain text rather than a 302 redirect code, append ?text_redirect=yes to your link:

http://video.blazingcdn2.net/key=C5RJmkKeeOXiz7lCGsw0eg,end=1476100377/ip=1.2.3.4/output.mp4?text_redirect=yes

The response body will contain the streaming server link:

http://ip5154398.blazingcdn2.net/key=87WJWOmNTl5EhiX9O9gQCg,,end=1476100377/state=WNAO/reftag=012378793/ssd/61/0/15624800/output.mp4

Alternative Option

Use text_redirect=size to receive "two lines – redirect link and file size."

Important Notes

The optimal streaming server selection requires specifying the surfer's IP address. Text link shouldn't be cached (only for video rewinding purposes). Generate new links for each viewing session with different users.
