Summary

Rambla Web Services (RAWS) is the common denominator for a number of web services which expose a programmatic interface to different parts of Rambla's CDN and related services.

Rambla Storage Service (= RASS) : filesystem-like access to the CDN.
Rambla Transcoding Service (= RATS) : media transcoding engine with extended functionality (import, export, notification...).
Rambla Monitoring Service (= RAMS) : retrieval of statistic data about media items and end-user traffic.
Rambla Stream Enabler (= RASE) : automates the set up of live streams.

Please note that you must have a Rambla account before you can use these services. For more information, contact Rambla or see the Rambla Wiki Pages.

Client Libraries

IMPORTANT: Future versions of RAWS (all services, including the new META service) will use JSON as the primary data format for client communication. They will keep supporting the ATOM/XML data format for backward compatibility, but new features may only be accessible using a JSON client. Therefore, we strongly recommend the use of our JSON client libraries for any new development !

The JSON client libraries are available at the following locations:

PHP : http://code.google.com/p/raws-php/
Python : http://code.google.com/p/raws-python/

If you want to extend an existing project or if you are looking for information about existing code, see the sections below.

PHP

The trunk contains a "php" directory, where you'll find the RawsClient directory (complete client libraries) and some scripts demonstrating how to use these libraries.

For more details on how to install and use the client libraries, see the dedicated Wiki Page.

An overview of the client API methods, generated from code comments, is also available for download.

Python

The trunk contains a "python" directory, where you'll find the rawsc package and some scripts demonstrating how to use these libraries.

For more details on how to install and use the client libraries, see the PythonClient wiki page.
