Installation

We recommend using this SDK as part of the overall @vonage/server-sdk package. Please see the main package for installation.

You can also use this SDK standalone if you only need access to just the Video API.

With NPM

npm install @vonage/video

With Yarn

yarn add @vonage/video

Usage

If you are using this SDK as part of the Vonage Server SDK, you can access it as the video property off of the client that you instantiate.

const { Auth } = require('@vonage/auth');
const { Vonage } = require('@vonage/server-sdk');

const credentials = new Auth({
  apiKey: API_KEY,
  apiSecret: API_SECRET
});
const options = {};
const vonage = new Vonage(credentials, options);

const session = await vonage.video.createSession();

Standalone

The SDK can be used standalone from the main Vonage Server SDK for Node.js if you only need to use the Video API. All you need to do is require('@vonage/video'), and use the returned object to create your own client.

const { Auth } = require('@vonage/auth');
const { Video } = require('@vonage/video');

const credentials = new Auth({
  applicationId: APP_ID,
  privateKey: PRIVATE_KEY_PATH,
});
const options = {};
const videoClient = new Video(credentials, options);

Where credentials is any option from @vonage/auth, and options is any option from @vonage/server-client

Promises

This SDK uses Promises to return data.

const session = await videoClient.createSession();

Testing

Run:

npm test
