Introduction

Getting Started with Fliqz - A technical guide to setting up your new account. This documentation helps you understand the implementation process, and explains the access to the web services you’ll need to retrieve information concerning your videos. There are two key areas of implementation: the Fliqz Uploader and the Fliqz Web Services.

Fliqz File Upload Features

There are 3 methods available to support uploading content to your site.

  • The Basic Uploader is available to all Basic, Bronze and Silver accounts and can be found in your Control Panel under the UPLOAD tab.
  • The Basic Uploader can be embedded on a web page on your site. The embed code is available beneath the Uploader on the UPLOAD tab in your control panel.
  • The HTTP POST uploader is available for selected paid packages. To make use of the HTTP POST Uploader you must contact Fliqz at support@fliqz.com to acquire an Application ID.

For more detailed information on Fliqz Uploaders see the BASIC File Upload FAQ and the HTTP POST Uploader FAQ.

Fliqz BASIC Uploader

The Fliqz Uploader is a simple Adobe Flash object that can be embedded into any web page. It talks to the Fliqz Upload Handler to quickly and efficiently manage file uploads.

For more detailed information on the BASIC Uploader see the BASIC File Upload FAQ.

HTTP POST Uploader

If you prefer to handle uploads in an HTML page, you can do so using a POST method. This uploader facilitates a fully customized upload form using a standard HTML Form with an HTTP POST Method with an action pointing to the Fliqz Upload Handler.

Details for the HTTP POST Uploader can be found in the HTTP POST Uploader FAQ.

Web Services

Fliqz exposes two sets of web services:

Video Web Service

This provides information concerning individual videos.

The WSDL for this service may be found at: http://services.fliqz.com/videoservice/080107/service.svc?wsdl

To see more detail on the Video Web Service see the Video Services FAQ

Search Web Service

This allows you to search your videos by availability date, upload date, number of plays, number of shares and rating. The results may be limited by number, to within a certain date range and may also be sorted in ascending or descending order. For number of plays, number of shares and rating, limits may be placed on the result values (for example, allowing you to selecting all videos with a rating of 5 or all videos with a rating greater than 3).

The WSDL for this service may be found at: http://services.fliqz.com/searchservice/20071001/service.svc?wsdl

To see more detail on the Search Web Service see the Search Services FAQ

Resources

  • To examine and experiment with the web services we recommend the use of Soap UI a free, simple to use, tool.
  • Using the web services will require some programming. For .Net programmers we recommend creating a web reference to the service in your Visual Studio project. This automatically adds a proxy class to your project; the class exposes the web service’s methods. The technique is described in the following MSDN article.
  • A sample PHP application using the video web service may be found here.
