Overview
The Numerade Video API provides secure access to educational videos from Numerade. It includes a built-in video player with download capabilities and supports both regular and AI-generated content.
Basic Usage
To request video access, send either a GET or POST request to the API endpoint.
GET Request
GET /api/getVideoSource?url=https://www.numerade.com/questions/your-question-url
POST Request
POST /api/getVideoSource
Content-Type: application/json
{
"url": "https://www.numerade.com/questions/your-question-url"
}
Response
{
"key": "bc2654783f2523a22390f6e18ad2d83f6c711b24f1f0cc32921cabc91a7d69a1",
"title": "Question Title",
"proxyUrl": "https://free-numerade-videos.vercel.app/api/getVideoSource?key=bc2654783f2523a22390f6e18ad2d83f6c711b24f1f0cc32921cabc91a7d69a1",
"watchUrl": "https://free-numerade-videos.vercel.app/watch?watch=bc2654783f2523a22390f6e18ad2d83f6c711b24f1f0cc32921cabc91a7d69a1",
"isAIGenerated": false
}
Video Access
There are two ways to access the video content:
1. Built-in Video Player
The recommended method is to use the built-in video player, which provides playback controls, download capability, and an expiry countdown:
GET /watch?watch=your_received_key
2. Direct Integration
For custom implementations, use the proxy URL in your own video player:
<video controls>
<source src="https://free-numerade-videos.vercel.app/api/getVideoSource?key=your_received_key" type="video/mp4">
</video>
Implementation Example
async function getVideo(numeradeUrl) {
try {
const response = await fetch('/api/getVideoSource', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({ url: numeradeUrl })
});
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
}
const data = await response.json();
return {
key: data.key,
proxyUrl: data.proxyUrl,
watchUrl: data.watchUrl,
isAIGenerated: data.isAIGenerated,
title: data.title
};
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error fetching video:', error);
throw error;
}
}
