Introduction

This document describes how to interact with the Flix RESTful API. It should give you a good basis to work from to be able to execute common tasks required to automate some Flix server-side features.

Flix is a story development hub for animated film and TV, gaming, and other visual narrative mediums. Watch the video below for a brief overview of how Flix works.

Getting started

We recommend to take a look at our flix-scripts repository on GitHub. This repository contains a handful of useful scripts written in Python. These scripts are free to be modified and adjusted to your own needs, and should be a very useful baseline to start from.

The /info endpoint serves as a good starting point to get acquainted with the Flix API. This endpoint behaves differently depending on if you are authorized or not. You can make a request to this endpoint with no Authorization header, and it will return a JSON response announcing the server name. However, if you make a request to the same endpoint with an authenticated signature, you will receive a JSON response containing more information about the Flix server.

One of
name
string
Default: "flix"

The server name configured for this server.

Example
{
  • "name": "flix"
}

Once you have both unauthenticated and authenticated requests working, you are all set to use the other endpoints available.

Authentication

A user can be authenticated with Flix via three mechanisms:

  • Username and password
  • Google OAuth token
  • LDAP

The /methods endpoint can be used to identify whether OAuth tokens can be used for authentication.

Once a user has been successfully authenticated using one of these methods, Flix will return an access key, which the client must use to authorize any future requests:

id
string

A public, unique identifier of this access key.

secret_access_key
string

Used to sign requests to authenticate the user. Should be kept secret.

created_date
string <date-time>

The date the access key was created.

expiry_date
string <date-time>

The date the access key will become invalid.

object (User)

A Flix user.

{
  • "id": "rbcnnb5MrWHW19Y76tjy",
  • "secret_access_key": "35Pt4rkxefpuISF8eetmBJpnSyM7zEAz4x0FE0j3",

  • "expiry_date": "2019-08-24T14:15:22Z",
  • "owner": {
    }
}

Sign in as a Flix or LDAP user

This endpoint will authenticate your username and password credentials, and provide an authentication key for you to use in subsequent API requests. This endpoint is the sole endpoint to use basic authentication.

Each user may only have one access key. Subsequent requests to this endpoint will invalidate any previously created keys.

Authorization

Flix endpoints can be categorised as follows:

  1. Authentication endpoints: These are endpoints used to authenticate a client and that return an access key, as described in Authentication.
  2. Public endpoints: These are endpoints that do not require authentication. For instance, they may return different data depending on if you are authenticated or not, or they return information required for the authentication process.
  3. Signed endpoints: These endpoints require requests to be signed using the secret access key returned during authentication. They constitute the majority of the endpoints in the Flix API.

In this section, we describe how to access signed endpoints, along with recommendations on how best to handle the access key from a security point of view.

Security recommendations

The access key ID and secret access key should only be stored for the current session, and discarded once the session ends. Access keys have a finite duration, so we recommend obtaining and cycling them regularly, which can be done using the /authenticate/extend endpoint.

Do not store or persist access keys to disk or share them with any other user.

We recommend you configure SSL/TLS to encrypt your HTTP API.

Flix API signing process

To access a signed endpoint, the client must present its access key ID, along with a signature of the request. The signature is a concatenation of data such as the request body, request path and the current time, hashed using the secret access key. A new signature must be generated for each request. If the client presents the server with an incorrect signature, the request will be rejected with a 403 error.

It is very important to understand that these requests are time sensitive and therefore require clocks on client and server machines to be correctly set. They do not have to be in the same timezone, but they must present an accurate time. If the client's clock differs from the server's by more than 15 minutes, the request will be rejected.

See the /info endpoint for an example of the signing process.

Example code

To make it as simple as possible for developers to get started using the Flix API we have provided example scripts for interacting with the API.

There is an example which specifically demonstrates how requests are signed, and all the code you need to make signed requests using Python. If you wish to use a different language, please get in contact via the Flix support portal.

Notification preferences

Flix allows for users to manage their own notification preferences. These notification preferences define whether Flix is permitted to send a notification Type, with a classifying Action to a given user, for a given show association.

Flix only sends notifications to users who have explicit access to shows, via a user group association. This means that while 'admin' users can access all shows, they will not receive notifications unless they are assigned to a show, via a user group, as well as having 'admin' status.

Fetch all notification preferences

Returns all notification preferences associated with the logged in user.

Webhooks

General

The Flix server provides a limited number of events which can be subscribed to by webhooks. Webhooks can be registered with the Flix server, after which any time an event occurs on the Flix server for which this webhook is subscribed to, a payload will be POSTed to the URL provided in the webhook.

Security

When it is first created, the webhook object will be returned from the Flix server with a secret key (36-bit). This is the only time this secret is accessible via the API. Please make a note of the secret key at the time the webhook is registered.

When a payload is sent to a webhook URL, it will include a header which can be used to verify the origin of the message: X-Flix-signature-256 This is a hex-digest string of the SHA265 hash of the message, using the secret key as the key.

Panels and panel revisions

Within Flix, a panel is a wrapper for a revisionable image or animated clip.

Each panel has a non-zero number of panel revisions. Each panel revision has exactly one asset associated with it. Note, however, that multiple panel revisions can be associated with the same asset.

Panel IDs are not intended to be sequential; rather, they are unique references within a given sequence. On the other hand, the revision numbers of the revisions of a panel will be sequential.

A panel can only exist once within a sequence revision. If a panel revision is brought into a sequence revision via the library, for example, and the panel already exists within that sequence revision, a "duplicate" will be created. Panel revisions have a duplicate property allowing the user to track where a panel revision has been duplicated from.

Create a new panel

Creates a single new panel, and a panel revision within it, and saves it to the database. If the asset ID on the panel is either not set, or set to 0, Flix will assign a blank asset to this panel. Responds with the first revision of the panel.

File storage abstraction

Flix provides a number of abstractions around file storage to make it easier to work with collections of files.

Media object

A media object is a wrapper for a file on disk. Each media object has a ref string value, which indicates the type of file the media object represents. Examples of refs are:

  • artwork
  • thumbnail
  • source_file

A media object cannot exist on its own, and must have an asset it belongs to.

id
integer

A unique ID for this media object.

asset_id
integer

The ID of the asset this media object belongs to.

name
string

The name of the file described by this media object. Only set if the status is "uploaded".

content_type
string

The content type of the file described by this media object. Only set if the status is "uploaded".

content_length
integer

The size in bytes of the file described by this media object. Only set if the status is "uploaded".

Array of objects (HashList)

The list of hash values used to describe the media object for the purpose of reusing.

created_date
string <date-time>

When this media object was created.

status
integer
Enum: 0 1 2

The status of this media object, either initialised (0), uploaded (1), or errored (2).

object (User)

A Flix user.

asset_type
string

A string specifying what type of media object this is.

object (Rectangle)

The dimensions of the underlying image. This will be omitted if the file is not an image.

  • "dimensions": {
    }
}

Asset

An asset is a collection of zero or more media objects. A typical asset—for a panel revision, for example—would contain one artwork media object, which is the original art imported by the artist; a PSD file would be common. It might also contain thumbnail, scaled and fullres media objects which are the result of a transcode request—one of each for still panels, or multiple for animated panels. If a panel revision has been published to an AAF, its asset will also contain published and dnxhd media object refs.

asset_id
integer

The ID of the asset.

show_id
integer

The show the asset is associated with.

created_date
string <date-time>

When the asset was created.

object (User)

A Flix user.

object

Maps ref strings to a list of media objects.

{
  • "asset_id": 55,

  • "owner_id": {
    },
  • "media_objects": {

}

Files

File content for media objects can be fetched directly from the API.

Uploading files to a media object is current only supported via the Flix Transfer Utility application which is distributed with the Flix Client. As such a typical panel image upload process for Flix would look like:

  1. API: create asset
  2. API: create media object - artwork
  3. Transfer Utility: use the asset and media object IDs from the API to upload the file
  4. API: create a transcode request for the asset

Job chains

The Flix server represents a compound action, such as a publish, with an object known as a job chain. Internally, the job chain contains a list of small jobs with singular responsibilities. From the API, the chain is represented as a UUID. The job chain ID can be used to query the status of a chain.

The status of a completed job chain may contain additional data depending on what jobs were run. For instance, a publish to Premiere will result in a job chain status containing asset IDs that can be used to download the generated files.

Get the status of a job chain Deprecated

Returns the status of a job chain not associated with a show. This is a legacy endpoint provided for compatibility with job chains created prior to Flix 6.5; any newly created chains should be requested using the /show/{showId}/chain/{taskID} endpoint.

Authorizations:
Signed auth
path Parameters
taskID
required
string[a-zA-Z0-9-]+
Example: 00036474-e363-4db8-8f46-e532aac9ef00

Task ID of a server job chain.

Get the status of a job chain

Returns the status of a job chain which is running, or has previously run, anywhere on the server network.

There can be a short delay, usually sub-second, between a job chain being created—by starting a publish, for example—and its status becoming available. If a 404 occurs unexpectedly, try again after a few seconds.

Websocket connections

Flix uses websockets to provide real-time updates about jobs. Messages that might be sent via websocket include the progress of job chains or notifications that an AAF file or dialogue file is ready for download.

Note: before the webhook system can be used it must be enabled via the Flix server configuration file. Please see the server options documentation for more details.

Open a websocket connection

A request to this endpoint will be upgraded to a websocket connection. The client ID is an arbitrary identifier

If a valid UUID is not provided to the websocket endpoint using the id parameter, the websocket connection will be closed with a 4000 close code. If the server is out of seats and cannot open another connection, the websocket connection will be closed with a 4003 close code.
