pretalx-youtube 2.2.0

Static youtube for pretalx, e.g. information, venue listings, a Code of Conduct, etc.

This is a plugin for pretalx that provides an integration with Youtube, allowing you to embed recordings on talk pages.

API

Reading data

The Plugin supplies an API at /api/events/<event>/p/youtube/ that returns all configured Youtube URLs:

{
    "count": 1,
    "next": null,
    "previous": null,
    "results": [
        {
            "submission": "DPC6RT",
            "youtube_link": "https://youtube.com/watch?v=AAAAAB",
            "video_id": "AAAAAB"
        },
    ]
}

A detail view for specific submissions is available at /api/events/<event>/p/youtube/<code>/:

{
    "submission": "DPC6RT",
    "youtube_link": "https://youtube.com/watch?v=AAAAAB",
    "video_id": "AAAAAB"
}

Writing data

You can use POST requests against the list endpoint and PATCH or PUT requests against the detail endpoint to create or update Youtube links. The video_id field is required, as is the submission field unless you are using PATCH. The submission field must be the code of an existing submission, and the API will take care of updating existing links if you use POST, so it’s safe to just always POST to the list endpoint.

You can also bulk import data in either JSON or CSV format. The JSON format is the same as the one used by the API, and the CSV format is a simple CSV file with a header row containing the fields submission and video_id. You can upload the file to /api/events/<event>/p/youtube/import/ using a POST request with the file as the body. (For JSON, you can also instead put the data in the request body.)
