The OpenTok Python SDK lets you generate
`sessions <http://tokbox.com/opentok/tutorials/create-session/>`_ and
`tokens <http://tokbox.com/opentok/tutorials/create-token/>`_ for `OpenTok <http://www.tokbox.com/>`_
applications, and `archive <http://www.tokbox.com/platform/archiving>`_ OpenTok sessions.

Installation using Pip (recommended):
-------------------------------------

Pip helps manage dependencies for Python projects using the PyPI index. Find more info here:
http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/

Add the ``opentok`` package as a dependency in your project. The most common way is to add it to your
``requirements.txt`` file::

  opentok>=3.0

Next, install the dependencies::

  $ pip install -r requirements.txt


Usage
-----

Initializing
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Import the package at the top of any file where you will use it. At the very least you will need the
``Client`` class. Then initialize a Client instance with your own API Key and API Secret.

.. code:: python

  from opentok import Client

  opentok = Client(api_key, api_secret)

Creating Sessions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To create an OpenTok Session, use the ``opentok.create_session()`` method. There are optional
keyword parameters for this method:

* ``location`` which can be set to a string containing an IP address.

* ``media_mode`` which is a String (defined by the MediaModes class).
  This determines whether the session will use the
  `OpenTok Media Router <https://tokbox.com/developer/guides/create-session/#media-mode>`_
  or attempt to send streams directly between clients. A routed session is required for some
  OpenTok features (such as archiving).

* ``archive_mode`` which specifies whether the session will be automatically archived (``always``)
  or not (``manual``).

* ``e2ee`` which is a boolean. This specifies whether to enable
  `end-to-end encryption <https://tokbox.com/developer/guides/end-to-end-encryption/>`_
  for the OpenTok session.

This method returns a ``Session`` object. Its ``session_id`` attribute is useful when saving to a persistent
store (such as a database).

.. code:: python

  # Create a session that attempts to send streams directly between clients (falling back
  # to use the OpenTok TURN server to relay streams if the clients cannot connect):
  session = opentok.create_session()

  from opentok import MediaModes
  # A session that uses the OpenTok Media Router, which is required for archiving:
  session = opentok.create_session(media_mode=MediaModes.routed)

  # An automatically archived session:
  session = opentok.create_session(media_mode=MediaModes.routed, archive_mode=ArchiveModes.always)

  # A session with a location hint
  session = opentok.create_session(location=u'12.34.56.78')

  # Store this session ID in the database
  session_id = session.session_id

Generating Tokens
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once a Session is created, you can start generating Tokens for clients to use when connecting to it.
You can generate a token either by calling the ``opentok.generate_token(session_id)`` method or by
calling the ``session.generate_token()`` method on a ``Session`` instance after creating it. Both
have a set of optional keyword parameters: ``role``, ``expire_time``, ``data``, and
``initial_layout_class_list``.

.. code:: python

  # Generate a Token from just a session_id (fetched from a database)
  token = opentok.generate_token(session_id)
  # Generate a Token by calling the method on the Session (returned from create_session)
  token = session.generate_token()

  from opentok import Roles
  # Set some options in a token
  token = session.generate_token(role=Roles.moderator,
                                 expire_time=int(time.time()) + 10,
                                 data=u'name=Johnny'
                                 initial_layout_class_list=[u'focus'])

Working with Archives
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can only archive sessions that use the OpenTok Media
Router (sessions with the media mode set to routed).

You can start the recording of an OpenTok Session using the ``opentok.start_archive(session_id)``
method. This method takes an optional keyword argument ``name`` to assign a name to the archive.
This method will return an ``Archive`` instance. Note that you can only start an Archive on
a Session that has clients connected.

.. code:: python

  archive = opentok.start_archive(session_id, name=u'Important Presentation')

  # Store this archive_id in the database
  archive_id = archive.id

You can also disable audio or video recording by setting the `has_audio` or `has_video` property of
the `options` parameter to `false`:

.. code:: python

  archive = opentok.start_archive(session_id, name=u'Important Presentation', has_video=False)

  # Store this archive_id in the database
  archive_id = archive.id

By default, all streams are recorded to a single (composed) file. You can record the different
streams in the session to individual files (instead of a single composed file) by setting the
``output_mode`` parameter of the ``opentok.start_archive()`` method `OutputModes.individual`.

.. code:: python

  archive = opentok.start_archive(session_id, name=u'Important Presentation', output_mode=OutputModes.individual)

  # Store this archive_id in the database
  archive_id = archive.id

To add an individual stream to an archive, use the
``opentok.add_archive_stream(archive_id, stream_id, has_audio, has_video)`` method:

.. code:: python

  opentok.add_archive_stream(archive.id, stream_id, has_audio=True, has_video=True)

To remove a stream from an archive, use the ``opentok.remove_archive_stream()`` method:

.. code:: python

  opentok.remove_archive_stream(archive.id, stream_id)

Composed archives (output_mode=OutputModes.composed) have an optional ``resolution`` parameter.
If no value is supplied, the archive will use the default resolution, "640x480".
You can set this to another resolution by setting the
``resolution`` parameter of the ``opentok.start_archive()`` method.

You can specify the following archive resolutions:

* "640x480" (SD landscape, default resolution)
* "480x640" (SD portrait)
* "1280x720" (HD landscape)
* "720x1280" (HD portrait)
* "1920x1080" (FHD landscape)
* "1080x1920" (FHD portrait)

Setting the ``resolution`` parameter while setting the ``output_mode`` parameter to
``OutputModes.individual`` results in an error.

.. code:: python

  archive = opentok.start_archive(session_id, name=u'Important Presentation', resolution="1280x720")

  # Store this archive_id in the database
  archive_id = archive.id

You can enable multiple simultaneous archives by specifying a unique value for the ``multi_archive_tag`` 
parameter in the ``start_archive`` method.

.. code:: python

  archive = opentok.start_archive(session_id, name=u'Important Presentation', multi_archive_tag='MyArchiveTag')

You can stop the recording of a started Archive using the ``opentok.stop_archive(archive_id)``method. 
You can also do this using the ``archive.stop()`` method of an ``Archive`` instance.

.. code:: python

  # Stop an Archive from an archive_id (fetched from database)
  opentok.stop_archive(archive_id)
  # Stop an Archive from an instance (returned from opentok.start_archive)
  archive.stop()

To get an ``Archive`` instance (and all the information about it) from an archive ID, use the
``opentok.get_archive(archive_id)`` method.

.. code:: python

  archive = opentok.get_archive(archive_id)

To delete an Archive, you can call the ``opentok.delete_archive(archive_id)`` method or the
``archive.delete()`` method of an ``Archive`` instance.

.. code:: python

  # Delete an Archive from an archive ID (fetched from database)
  opentok.delete_archive(archive_id)
  # Delete an Archive from an Archive instance (returned from opentok.start_archive or
  opentok.get_archive)
  archive.delete()

You can also get a list of all the Archives you've created (up to 1000) with your API Key. This is
done using the ``opentok.list_archives()`` method. There are three optional keyword parameters:
``count``, ``offset`` and ``session_id``; they can help you paginate through the results and
filter by session ID. This method returns an instance of the ``ArchiveList`` class.

.. code:: python

  archive_list = opentok.list_archives()

  # Get a specific Archive from the list
  archive = archive_list.items[i]

  # Iterate over items
  for archive in iter(archive_list):
    pass

  # Get the total number of Archives for this API Key
  total = archive_list.total

Note that you can also create an automatically archived session, by passing in
``ArchiveModes.always`` as the ``archive_mode`` parameter when you call the
``opentok.create_session()`` method (see "Creating Sessions," above).

For composed archives, you can change the layout dynamically, using the `opentok.set_archive_layout(archive_id, type, stylesheet)` method:

.. code:: python

  opentok.set_archive_layout('ARCHIVEID', 'horizontalPresentation')

Setting the layout of composed archives is optional. By default, composed archives use the `best fit` layout.  Other valid values are: `custom`, `horizontalPresentation`, `pip` and `verticalPresentation`. If you specify a `custom` layout type, set the stylesheet parameter:

.. code:: python

  opentok.set_archive_layout(
      'ARCHIVEID',
      'custom',
      'stream.instructor {position: absolute; width: 100%;  height:50%;}'
  )

For other layout types, do not set the stylesheet property. For more information see
`Customizing the video layout for composed archives <https://tokbox.com/developer/guides/archiving/layout-control.html>`_.

For more information on archiving, see the
`OpenTok archiving <https://tokbox.com/opentok/tutorials/archiving/>`_ programming guide.

Sending Signals
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once a Session is created, you can send signals to everyone in the session or to a specific connection. You can send a signal by calling the ``signal(session_id, payload)`` method of the ``Client`` class. The ``payload`` parameter is a dictionary used to set the ``type``, ``data`` fields. Ỳou can also call the method with the parameter ``connection_id`` to send a signal to a specific connection ``signal(session_id, data, connection_id)``.

.. code:: python

  # payload structure
  payload = {
      'type': 'type', #optional
      'data': 'signal data' #required
  }

  connection_id = '2a84cd30-3a33-917f-9150-49e454e01572'

  # To send a signal to everyone in the session:
  opentok.signal(session_id, payload)

  # To send a signal to a specific connection in the session:
  opentok.signal(session_id, payload, connection_id)

Working with Streams
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can get information about a stream by calling the `get_stream(session_id, stream_id)` method of the `Client` class.

The method returns a Stream object that contains information of an OpenTok stream:

* ``id``: The stream ID
* ``videoType``: "camera" or "screen"
* ``name``: The stream name (if one was set when the client published the stream)
* ``layoutClassList``: It's an array of the layout classes for the stream

.. code:: python

  session_id = 'SESSIONID'
  stream_id = '8b732909-0a06-46a2-8ea8-074e64d43422'

  # To get stream info:
  stream = opentok.get_stream(session_id, stream_id)

  # Stream properties:
  print stream.id #8b732909-0a06-46a2-8ea8-074e64d43422
  print stream.videoType #camera
  print stream.name #stream name
  print stream.layoutClassList #['full']

Also, you can get information about all the streams in a session by calling the `list_streams(session_id)` method of the `Client` class.

The method returns a StreamList object that contains a list of all the streams

.. code:: python

  # To get all streams in a session:
  stream_list = opentok.list_streams(session_id)

  # Getting the first stream of the list
  stream = stream_list.items[0]

  # Stream properties:
  print stream.id #8b732909-0a06-46a2-8ea8-074e64d43422
  print stream.videoType #camera
  print stream.name #stream name
  print stream.layoutClassList #['full']

You can change the layout classes for streams in a session by calling the `set_stream_class_lists(session_id, stream_list)` method of the `Client` class.

The layout classes define how the stream is displayed in the layout of a composed OpenTok archive.

.. code:: python

  # This list contains the information of the streams that will be updated. Each element
  # in the list is a dictionary with two properties: 'id' and 'layoutClassList'. The 'id'
  # property is the stream ID (a String), and the 'layoutClassList' is an array of class
  # names (Strings) to apply to the stream.
  payload = [
      {'id': '7b09ec3c-26f9-43d7-8197-f608f13d4fb6', 'layoutClassList': ['focus']},
      {'id': '567bc941-6ea0-4c69-97fc-70a740b68976', 'layoutClassList': ['top']},
      {'id': '307dc941-0450-4c09-975c-705740d08970', 'layoutClassList': ['bottom']}
  ]

  opentok.set_stream_class_lists('SESSIONID', payload)

For more information see
`Changing the composed archive layout classes for an OpenTok stream <https://tokbox.com/developer/rest/#change-stream-layout-classes-composed>`_.

Force Disconnect
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your application server can disconnect a client from an OpenTok session by calling the force_disconnect(session_id, connection_id) method of the Client class, or the force_disconnect(connection_id) method of the Session class.

.. code:: python

  session_id = 'SESSIONID'
  connection_id = 'CONNECTIONID'

  # To send a request to disconnect a client:
  opentok.force_disconnect(session_id, connection_id)

Working with SIP Interconnect
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can connect your SIP platform to an OpenTok session, the audio from your end of the SIP call is added to the OpenTok session as an audio-only stream. The OpenTok Media Router mixes audio from other streams in the session and sends the mixed audio to your SIP endpoint.

.. code:: python

  session_id = u('SESSIONID')
  token = u('TOKEN')
  sip_uri = u('sip:user@sip.partner.com;transport=tls')

  # call the method with the required parameters
  sip_call = opentok.dial(session_id, token, sip_uri)

  # the method also support aditional options to establish the sip call

  options = {
      'from': 'from@example.com',
      'headers': {
          'headerKey': 'headerValue'
      },
      'auth': {
          'username': 'username',
          'password': 'password'
      },
      'secure': True
  }

  # call the method with aditional options
  sip_call = opentok.dial(session_id, token, sip_uri, options)

For more information, including technical details and security considerations, see the
`OpenTok SIP interconnect <https://tokbox.com/developer/guides/sip/>`_ developer guide.

Working with Broadcasts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OpenTok broadcast lets you share live OpenTok sessions with many viewers.

You can use the ``opentok.start_broadcast()`` method to start a live stream for an OpenTok session.
This broadcasts the session to HLS (HTTP live streaming) or to RTMP streams.

To successfully start broadcasting a session, at least one client must be connected to the session.

The live streaming broadcast can target one HLS endpoint and up to five RTMP servers simulteneously for a session. You can only start live streaming for sessions that use the OpenTok Media Router; you cannot use live streaming with sessions that have the media mode set to relayed.

.. code:: python

  session_id = 'SESSIONID'
  options = {
    'layout': {
      'type': 'custom',
      'stylesheet': 'the layout stylesheet (only used with type == custom)'
    },
    'maxDuration': 5400,
    'outputs': {
      'hls': {},
      'rtmp': [{
        'id': 'foo',
        'serverUrl': 'rtmp://myfooserver/myfooapp',
        'streamName': 'myfoostream'
      }, {
        'id': 'bar',
        'serverUrl': 'rtmp://mybarserver/mybarapp',
        'streamName': 'mybarstream'
      }]
    },
    'resolution': '640x480'
  }

  broadcast = opentok.start_broadcast(session_id, options)

You can specify the following broadcast resolutions:

* "640x480" (SD landscape, default resolution)
* "480x640" (SD portrait)
* "1280x720" (HD landscape)
* "720x1280" (HD portrait)
* "1920x1080" (FHD landscape)
* "1080x1920" (FHD portrait)

.. code:: python

  session_id = 'SESSIONID'
  options = {
    'multiBroadcastTag': 'unique_broadcast_tag'
    'layout': {
      'type': 'custom',
      'stylesheet': 'the layout stylesheet (only used with type == custom)'
    },
    'maxDuration': 5400,
    'outputs': {
      'hls': {},
      'rtmp': [{
        'id': 'foo',
        'serverUrl': 'rtmp://myfooserver/myfooapp',
        'streamName': 'myfoostream'
      }, {
        'id': 'bar',
        'serverUrl': 'rtmp://mybarserver/mybarapp',
        'streamName': 'mybarstream'
      }]
    },
    'resolution': '640x480'
  }

  broadcast = opentok.start_broadcast(session_id, options)
  
To enable multiple simultaneous broadcasts on the same session, specify a unique value for the 
``multiBroadcastTag`` parameter in ``options`` when calling the ``opentok.start_broadcast`` method.

You can stop a started Broadcast using the ``opentok.stop_broadcast(broadcast_id)`` method.

.. code:: python

  # getting the ID from a broadcast object
  broadcast_id = broadcast.id

  # stop a broadcast
  broadcast = opentok.stop_broadcast(broadcast_id)

You can get details on a broadcast that is in-progress using the method ``opentok.get_broadcast(broadcast_id)``.

.. code:: python

  broadcast_id = '1748b7070a81464c9759c46ad10d3734'

  # get broadcast details
  broadcast = opentok.get_broadcast(broadcast_id)

  print broadcast.json()

  # print result
  # {
  #   "createdAt": 1437676551000,
  #   "id": "1748b707-0a81-464c-9759-c46ad10d3734",
  #   "projectId": 100,
  #   "resolution": "640x480",
  #   "sessionId": "2_MX4xMDBfjE0Mzc2NzY1NDgwMTJ-TjMzfn4",
  #   "status": "started",
  #   "updatedAt": 1437676551000,
  #   "broadcastUrls": {
  #       "hls": "http://server/fakepath/playlist.m3u8",
  #       "rtmp": {
  #           "bar": {
  #               "serverUrl": "rtmp://mybarserver/mybarapp",
  #               "status": "live",
  #               "streamName": "mybarstream"
  #           },
  #           "foo": {
  #               "serverUrl": "rtmp://myfooserver/myfooapp",
  #               "status": "live",
  #               "streamName": "myfoostream"
  #           }
  #       }
  #   }
  # }

You can dynamically change the layout type of a live streaming broadcast.

.. code:: python

  # Valid values to 'layout_type' are: 'custom', 'horizontalPresentation',
  # 'pip' and 'verticalPresentation' 
  opentok.set_broadcast_layout('BROADCASTID', 'horizontalPresentation')

  # if you specify a 'custom' layout type, set the stylesheet parameter:
  opentok.set_broadcast_layout(
      'BROADCASTID',
      'custom',
      'stream.instructor {position: absolute; width: 100%;  height:50%;}'
  )

You can add streams to a broadcast using the ``opentok.add_broadcast_stream()`` method:

.. code:: python

  opentok.add_broadcast_stream(broadcast_id, stream_id)

Conversely, streams can be removed from a broadcast with the ``opentok.remove_broadcast_stream()`` method.

.. code:: python

  opentok.remove_broadcast_stream(broadcast_id, stream_id)

For more information about OpenTok live streaming broadcasts, see the
`Broadcast developer guide <https://tokbox.com/developer/guides/broadcast/>`_.


Connecting audio to a WebSocket
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can send audio to a WebSocket with the ``opentok.connect_audio_to_websocket`` method.
For more information, see the
`Audio Connector developer guide <https://tokbox.com/developer/guides/audio-connector/>`_.

.. code:: python

  websocket_options = {"uri": "wss://service.com/ws-endpoint"}
  websocket_audio_connection = opentok.connect_audio_to_websocket(session_id, opentok_token, websocket_options)

Additionally, you can list only the specific streams you want to send to the WebSocket, and/or the additional headers that are sent, 
by adding these fields to the ``websocket_options`` object.

.. code:: python

  websocket_options = {
    "uri": "wss://service.com/ws-endpoint",
    "streams": [
      "streamId-1",
      "streamId-2"
    ],
    "headers": {
      "headerKey": "headerValue"
    }
  }

Configuring Timeout
-------------------
Timeout is passed in the Client constructor:

``self.timeout = timeout``

In order to configure timeout, first create an instance:

``opentok = Client(...., timeout=value)``

And then proceed to change the value with

``opentok.timeout = value``

Muting streams
--------------

You can mute all streams in a session using the ``opentok.mute_all()`` method:

.. code:: python

  opentok.mute_all(session_id)

  # You can also specify streams to exclude (e.g. main presenter)
  excluded_stream_ids = ['1234', '5678']
  opentok.mute_all(session_id, excluded_stream_ids)

In addition to existing streams, any streams that are published after the call to
this method are published with audio muted. You can remove the mute state of a session
by calling the ``opentok.disableForceMute()`` method:

.. code:: python

  opentok.disable_force_mute(session_id)

After calling the ``opentok.disableForceMute()`` method, new streams that are published
to the session will not be muted.

You can mute a single stream using the ``opentok.mute_stream()`` method:

.. code:: python

  opentok.mute_stream(session_id, stream_id)

DTMF
------

You can send dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) digits to SIP endpoints. You can play DTMF tones
to all clients connected to session or to a specific connection:

.. code:: python
  
  digits = '12345'
  opentok.play_dtmf(session_id, digits)

  # To a specific connection
  opentok.play_dtmf(session_id, connection_id, digits)

Requirements
------------

You need an OpenTok API key and API secret, which you can obtain at https://dashboard.tokbox.com/

The OpenTok Python SDK requires Python 3.5 or higher

Release Notes
-------------

See the `Releases <https://github.com/opentok/Opentok-Python-SDK/releases>`_ page for details about
each release.

Important changes since v2.2
----------------------------

**Changes in v2.2.1:**

The default setting for the create_session() method is to create a session with the media mode set
to relayed. In previous versions of the SDK, the default setting was to use the OpenTok Media Router
(media mode set to routed). In a relayed session, clients will attempt to send streams directly
between each other (peer-to-peer); if clients cannot connect due to firewall restrictions, the
session uses the OpenTok TURN server to relay audio-video streams.

**Changes in v2.2.0:**

This version of the SDK includes support for working with OpenTok archives.

The Client.create_session() method now includes a media_mode parameter, instead of a p2p parameter.

**Changes in v3.X.X:**

This version of the SDK includes significant improvements such as top level entity naming, where the Opentok class is now `Client`.  We also implemented a standardised logging module, improved naming conventions and JWT generation to make developer experience more rewarding.

For details, see the reference documentation at
https://tokbox.com/developer/sdks/python/reference/.
