It’s now possible to add items to a playlist. Please see updated docs above.

noice an api update

user_edabcde33922e76 · September 23, 2021, 8:43pm

Just search how to make a post request on java

user_54c7026327f369a · September 26, 2021, 10:19pm

Hey is it possible to have it add a url to a given specific playlist instead of the active playlist?
Like for example say I have 3 playlists Test1, Test2 and Test3 and I want to add a url to the Test2 playlist.

user_fa32413e310ee8d · September 27, 2021, 12:47am

That’s some nice update Florian.

The only problem is that it makes impossible to know which video is.
It doesn’t give us a nickname or gets the name of the video like adding normaly does.

@user_95f53b7185f71fb Like others already said if you add videos to the playlist the name of the video is the given URL and not the video title.
Is there a way to change this? It should probably be a quick fix but would be a big QOL change for us users.

I added 50 music videos to the playlist and don’t know what any of these are until I click them which is quite annoying

user_95f53b7185f71fb · December 9, 2021, 5:49pm

You are right, this is annoying. There is actually the option to add a title string to each item. I updated the example above, please have a look!

user_2db60e7da98dc0f · December 9, 2021, 5:54pm

Thank you! That’s what I call good customer service!

user_7c405a129cf35b7 · December 14, 2021, 11:39pm

Hi!

Thank you for creating W2G and it’s API, it is truly great!

Currently I have built a CLI to quickly create rooms and even copy the URL into the clipboard of the user.
I am thinking of possibly extending this project a little bit soon, although I feel like I am missing an endpoint to get my current rooms so that I can list any rooms I already have and not endlessly creating new ones.

Is this possible right now? Is it exposed?
I might have missed it and I am sorry if I have!

user_95f53b7185f71fb · December 15, 2021, 3:15pm

Thanks a lot for your input. It exists internaly but it’s not yet stable enough to expose it externally. I’ll update the Docs once it’s available!

user_caa574b3f0a0c90 · January 21, 2022, 8:38am

Hey,

Thank you so much for the w2g API! It works great! Do you have any plans on adding the option to create rooms with custom backgrounds?

Thanks!

user_95f53b7185f71fb · January 25, 2022, 12:15pm

Thanks for your feedback! You are talking about background images? The current API allows you to change the color already…

user_4035a9bb00ad4b1 · January 27, 2022, 11:52pm

A feature I’d love to see would be to get the list of videos in the active playlist - or a particular playlist, if and when playlist addressing functionality becomes available. It’d be even better if it returns both the URL and title!

Edit: I looked around the community some more and figured having this together with what’s currently in the API would allow anyone to implement their own version of the much-requested playlist export feature. Not my original intention, but a nice bonus.

user_8a330905ae53091 · March 27, 2022, 7:33pm

Здравствуйте,простите, я новичок в программировании но меня заинтересовала возможность работы с вашим АПИ,но к сожалению при попытке добавить видео в плейлист выдает ошибку “HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error”

Вот кусок кода:

payload= {
   'w2g_api_key': watchTogether_api_key,
    "add_items":[{
        "url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9EX0f6V11Y",
        "title":"Marvel Studios’ Ms. Marvel | Official Trailer | Disney+",
        "thumb":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/m9EX0f6V11Y/mqdefault.jpg"
        }]
    }

data = urllib.parse.urlencode(payload).encode()
print(data)
req = urllib.request.Request(f"https://w2g.tv/rooms/{streamkey}/playlists/current/playlist_items/sync_update", data=data)
resp = urllib.request.urlopen(req)

Надеюсь кто-то сможет помочь и объяснить что здесь не так и как это исправить

user_95f53b7185f71fb · March 27, 2022, 7:42pm

Thanks for getting in touch! Make sure that you are sending a POST request with the correct content type headers as shown in the example at the top of the page. Does that help?

user_8a330905ae53091 · March 30, 2022, 8:59pm

When I add these headers get “Error 400: Bad Request”

headers = {
    'Accept': 'application/json',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    }

Upd.
After reading several forums and literature on a similar topic, I still found a solution … maybe someone will need it, so I’ll leave it below…Python

import json
import urllib.request

headers = {'Accept': 'application/json','Content-Type': 'application/json'}
w2g_api_key = {'w2g_api_key': '{watchTogether_api_key}'}



url_playlists = 'https://w2g.tv/rooms/{streamkey}/playlists/{keyplaylists}/playlist_items/sync_update'
video_playlists = [{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9EX0f6V11Y","title":"Marvel Studios’ Ms. Marvel | Official Trailer | Disney+","thumb":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/m9EX0f6V11Y/mqdefault.jpg"},
                   {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9EX0f6V11Y","title":"Marvel Studios’ Ms. Marvel | Official Trailer | Disney+","thumb":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/m9EX0f6V11Y/mqdefault.jpg"},
                   {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9EX0f6V11Y","title":"Marvel Studios’ Ms. Marvel | Official Trailer | Disney+","thumb":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/m9EX0f6V11Y/mqdefault.jpg"},
                   {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9EX0f6V11Y","title":"Marvel Studios’ Ms. Marvel | Official Trailer | Disney+","thumb":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/m9EX0f6V11Y/mqdefault.jpg"},
                   {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9EX0f6V11Y","title":"Marvel Studios’ Ms. Marvel | Official Trailer | Disney+","thumb":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/m9EX0f6V11Y/mqdefault.jpg"}
                    ]
playlists_load = w2g_api_key|{'add_items':video_playlists}



url_run_video = 'https://w2g.tv/rooms/{streamkey}/sync_update'
video_url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7biUABNj92E"       
payload = w2g_api_key|{"item_url":video_url}


data = json.dumps(payload).encode('utf-8')
req = urllib.request.Request(url_run_video,data,headers)
resp = urllib.request.urlopen(req)
print(resp.status)

is adding to playlist bugged atm?
tried everything but it wont work, can create room and start a video without any problems, but adding to playlist will not work in any way

user_95f53b7185f71fb · March 31, 2022, 4:35pm

Thanks for your input. Are the other methods (create, share) working for you? Can you share some context and code?

user_3687e5658d466be · March 31, 2022, 4:38pm

create and share are working for me

using python
code i use for share

URL = "https://w2g.tv/rooms/" + streamkey + "/sync_update"
            PARAMS = {  'Accept': 'application/json',
                        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                        "w2g_api_key": "<api_key>",
                        "item_url" : message.content
            }

            requests.post(url = URL, params = PARAMS)

code for add to playlist

URL = "https://w2g.tv/rooms/" + streamkey + "/playlists/current/playlist_items/sync_update"
        PARAMS = {      'Accept': 'application/json',
                        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                        "w2g_api_key": "<api_key>",
                        "add_items": [{"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg", "title": "Hello World"}]
        }

        requests.post(url = URL, params = PARAMS)
