ResponseError

alias of JSONResponseError

cancel_job(id=None)

The CancelJob operation cancels an unfinished job. You can only cancel a job that has a status of Submitted. To prevent a pipeline from starting to process a job while you’re getting the job identifier, use UpdatePipelineStatus to temporarily pause the pipeline.

Parameters:id (string) – The identifier of the job that you want to cancel.

To get a list of the jobs (including their jobId) that have a status

of Submitted, use the ListJobsByStatus API action.

create_job(pipeline_id=None, input_name=None, output=None, outputs=None, output_key_prefix=None, playlists=None)

When you create a job, Elastic Transcoder returns JSON data that includes the values that you specified plus information about the job that is created.

If you have specified more than one output for your jobs (for example, one output for the Kindle Fire and another output for the Apple iPhone 4s), you currently must use the Elastic Transcoder API to list the jobs (as opposed to the AWS Console).

Parameters:

• pipeline_id (string) – The Id of the pipeline that you want Elastic Transcoder to use for transcoding. The pipeline determines several settings, including the Amazon S3 bucket from which Elastic Transcoder gets the files to transcode and the bucket into which Elastic Transcoder puts the transcoded files.
• input_name (dict) – A section of the request body that provides information about the file that is being transcoded.
• output (dict) – The CreateJobOutput structure.
• outputs (list) – A section of the request body that provides information about the transcoded (target) files. We recommend that you use the Outputs syntax instead of the Output syntax.
• output_key_prefix (string) – The value, if any, that you want Elastic Transcoder to prepend to the names of all files that this job creates, including output files, thumbnails, and playlists.
• playlists (list) – If you specify a preset in PresetId for which the value of Container is ts (MPEG-TS), Playlists contains information about the master playlists that you want Elastic Transcoder to create.

We recommend that you create only one master playlist. The maximum

number of master playlists in a job is 30.

create_pipeline(name=None, input_bucket=None, output_bucket=None, role=None, notifications=None, content_config=None, thumbnail_config=None)

The CreatePipeline operation creates a pipeline with settings that you specify.

Parameters:name (string) – The name of the pipeline. We recommend that the name be unique within the AWS account, but uniqueness is not enforced.

Constraints: Maximum 40 characters.

Parameters:

• input_bucket (string) – The Amazon S3 bucket in which you saved the media files that you want to transcode.
• output_bucket (string) – The Amazon S3 bucket in which you want Elastic Transcoder to save the transcoded files. (Use this, or use ContentConfig:Bucket plus ThumbnailConfig:Bucket.)

Specify this value when all of the following are true:

• You want to save transcoded files, thumbnails (if any), and playlists

  (if any) together in one bucket.

• You do not want to specify the users or groups who have access to the

  transcoded files, thumbnails, and playlists.

• You do not want to specify the permissions that Elastic Transcoder

  grants to the files. When Elastic Transcoder saves files in OutputBucket, it grants full control over the files only to the AWS account that owns the role that is specified by Role.

• You want to associate the transcoded files and thumbnails with the

  Amazon S3 Standard storage class.

If you want to save transcoded files and playlists in one bucket and

thumbnails in another bucket, specify which users can access the transcoded files or the permissions the users have, or change the Amazon S3 storage class, omit OutputBucket and specify values for ContentConfig and ThumbnailConfig instead.

Parameters:

• role (string) – The IAM Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the role that you want Elastic Transcoder to use to create the pipeline.
• notifications (dict) –

The Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic that you want

to notify to report job status.

To receive notifications, you must also subscribe to the new topic in

the Amazon SNS console.

• Progressing: The topic ARN for the Amazon Simple Notification

  Service (Amazon SNS) topic that you want to notify when Elastic Transcoder has started to process a job in this pipeline. This is the ARN that Amazon SNS returned when you created the topic. For more information, see Create a Topic in the Amazon Simple Notification Service Developer Guide.

• Completed: The topic ARN for the Amazon SNS topic that you want

  to notify when Elastic Transcoder has finished processing a job in this pipeline. This is the ARN that Amazon SNS returned when you created the topic.

• Warning: The topic ARN for the Amazon SNS topic that you want to

  notify when Elastic Transcoder encounters a warning condition while processing a job in this pipeline. This is the ARN that Amazon SNS returned when you created the topic.

• Error: The topic ARN for the Amazon SNS topic that you want to

  notify when Elastic Transcoder encounters an error condition while processing a job in this pipeline. This is the ARN that Amazon SNS returned when you created the topic.

create_preset(name=None, description=None, container=None, video=None, audio=None, thumbnails=None)

The CreatePreset operation creates a preset with settings that you specify. Elastic Transcoder checks the CreatePreset settings to ensure that they meet Elastic Transcoder requirements and to determine whether they comply with H.264 standards. If your settings are not valid for Elastic Transcoder, Elastic Transcoder returns an HTTP 400 response ( ValidationException) and does not create the preset. If the settings are valid for Elastic Transcoder but aren’t strictly compliant with the H.264 standard, Elastic Transcoder creates the preset and returns a warning message in the response. This helps you determine whether your settings comply with the H.264 standard while giving you greater flexibility with respect to the video that Elastic Transcoder produces. Elastic Transcoder uses the H.264 video-compression format. For more information, see the International Telecommunication Union publication Recommendation ITU-T H.264: Advanced video coding for generic audiovisual services .

Parameters:

• name (string) – The name of the preset. We recommend that the name be unique within the AWS account, but uniqueness is not enforced.
• description (string) – A description of the preset.
• container (string) – The container type for the output file. Valid values include mp3, mp4, ogg, ts, and webm.
• video (dict) – A section of the request body that specifies the video parameters.
• audio (dict) – A section of the request body that specifies the audio parameters.
• thumbnails (dict) – A section of the request body that specifies the thumbnail parameters, if any.

update_pipeline_status(id=None, status=None)

The UpdatePipelineStatus operation pauses or reactivates a pipeline, so that the pipeline stops or restarts the processing of jobs.

Changing the pipeline status is useful if you want to cancel one or more jobs. You can’t cancel jobs after Elastic Transcoder has started processing them; if you pause the pipeline to which you submitted the jobs, you have more time to get the job IDs for the jobs that you want to cancel, and to send a CancelJob request.

Parameters:

• id (string) – The identifier of the pipeline to update.
• status (string) –

The desired status of the pipeline:

• Active: The pipeline is processing jobs.
• Paused: The pipeline is not currently processing jobs.
