Creating and managing job templates

This page shows you how to create and manage Transcoder API job templates.

By default, the Transcoder API applies a preset template called preset/web-hd to populate a job configuration. You can specify your own custom job templates when creating transcoding jobs. A job configuration represents many of the settings you can customize when creating a job.

Set up your Google Cloud project and authentication

If you have not created a Google Cloud project and credentials, see Before you begin.

Creating job templates

You can specify a wide variety of settings in a job template. For an introduction to some of the terminology and concepts of job configurations, see the Transcoder API overview.

To create a job template, use the projects.locations.jobTemplates.create method. The following example uses a simple configuration to create standard definition and high definition .mp4 output files. For more information on a job configuration, see the JobConfig reference.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

PROJECT_ID: Your Google Cloud project ID listed in the IAM Settings.
LOCATION: The location where your job template will be stored. Use one of the supported regions.
Show locations
- us-central1
- us-west1
- us-west2
- us-east1
- us-east4
- southamerica-east1
- northamerica-northeast1
- asia-east1
- asia-northeast1
- asia-northeast3
- asia-south1
- asia-southeast1
- australia-southeast1
- europe-west1
- europe-west2
- europe-west4
- me-west1
- me-central1
- me-central2
TEMPLATE_ID: A user-defined identifier for the new job template to create. This value should be 4-63 characters and valid characters are in the regular expression [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*.

To send your request, expand one of these options:

curl (Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login , or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json. Run the following command in the terminal to create or overwrite this file in the current directory:

cat > request.json << 'EOF'
{
  "config": {
    "elementaryStreams": [
      {
        "key": "video-stream0",
        "videoStream": {
          "h264": {
            "heightPixels": 360,
            "widthPixels": 640,
            "bitrateBps": 550000,
            "frameRate": 60
          }
        }
      },
      {
        "key": "video-stream1",
        "videoStream": {
          "h264": {
            "heightPixels": 720,
            "widthPixels": 1280,
            "bitrateBps": 2500000,
            "frameRate": 60
          }
        }
      },
      {
        "key": "audio-stream0",
        "audioStream": {
          "codec": "aac",

gcloud

Create a request.json file that defines the job template fields. The following is an example job template:

{
  "config": {
    "elementaryStreams": [
      {
        "key": "video-stream0",
        "videoStream": {
          "h264": {
            "heightPixels": 360,
            "widthPixels": 640,
            "bitrateBps": 550000,
            "frameRate": 60
          }
        }
      },
      {
        "key": "video-stream1",
        "videoStream": {
          "h264": {
            "heightPixels": 720,
            "widthPixels": 1280,
            "bitrateBps": 2500000,
            "frameRate": 60
          }
        }
      },
      {
        "key": "audio-stream0",
        "audioStream": {
          "codec": "aac",
          "bitrateBps": 64000
        }
      }
    ],
    "muxStreams": [
      {
        "key": "sd",
        "container": "mp4",
        "elementaryStreams": [
          "video-stream0",
          "audio-stream0"
        ]
      },
      {
        "key": "hd",
        "container": "mp4",
        "elementaryStreams": [
          "video-stream1",
          "audio-stream0"
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Make the following replacements for the gcloud command:

TEMPLATE_ID: A user-defined identifier for the new job template to create. This value should be 4-63 characters and valid characters are in the regular expression [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*.
LOCATION: The location where your job template will be stored. Use one of the supported regions.
Show locations

Run the following command:

gcloud transcoder templates create TEMPLATE_ID --file="request.json" --location=LOCATION

Ruby

Before trying this sample, follow the Ruby setup instructions in the Transcoder API quickstart using client libraries. For more information, see the Transcoder API Ruby API reference documentation.

To authenticate to Transcoder API, set up Application Default Credentials. For more information, see Set up authentication for a local development environment.

# project_id  = "YOUR-GOOGLE-CLOUD-PROJECT"  # (e.g. "my-project")
# location    = "YOUR-JOB-TEMPLATE-LOCATION"  # (e.g. "us-central1")

# Require the Transcoder client library.
require "google/cloud/video/transcoder"

# Create a Transcoder client.
client = Google::Cloud::Video::Transcoder.transcoder_service

# Build the resource name of the parent.
parent = client.location_path project: project_id, location: location

# Get the list of job templates.
response = client.list_job_templates parent: parent

puts "Job templates:"
# Print out all job templates.
response.each do |job_template|
  puts job_template.name
end

This response may include a nextPageToken, which you can use to retrieve additional results:

{
  "jobTemplates": [
    ...
  ],
  "nextPageToken": "NEXT_PAGE_TOKEN"
}

In the following curl example, you can then send another request, and include the value of NEXT_PAGE_TOKEN to list additional job templates, similar to the following:

curl -X GET \
-H "Authorization: Bearer "$(gcloud auth application-default print-access-token) \
https://transcoder.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION/jobTemplates?pageToken=NEXT_PAGE_TOKEN

See the relevant client library for more information on using this token.

Deleting job templates

To delete a job template, use the projects.locations.jobTemplates.delete method.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

TEMPLATE_ID: The ID of the job template you created.

PROJECT_ID: Your Google Cloud project ID.

LOCATION: The location of your job template. Use one of the supported regions.

Show locations

us-central1
us-west1
us-west2
us-east1
us-east4
southamerica-east1
northamerica-northeast1
asia-east1
asia-northeast1
asia-northeast3
asia-south1
asia-southeast1
australia-southeast1
europe-west1
europe-west2
europe-west4
me-west1
me-central1
me-central2

To send your request, expand one of these options:

curl (Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell)

Execute the following command:

curl -X DELETE \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     "https://transcoder.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION/jobTemplates/TEMPLATE_ID"

PowerShell (Windows)

Execute the following command:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method DELETE `
    -Headers $headers `
    -Uri "https://transcoder.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION/jobTemplates/TEMPLATE_ID" | Select-Object -Expand Content

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

{}

gcloud

Make the following replacements for the gcloud command:

TEMPLATE_ID: The ID of the job template you created.
LOCATION: The location of your job template. Use one of the supported regions.
Show locations
- us-central1
- us-west1
- us-west2
- us-east1
- us-east4
- southamerica-east1
- northamerica-northeast1
- asia-east1
- asia-northeast1
- asia-northeast3
- asia-south1
- asia-southeast1
- australia-southeast1
- europe-west1
- europe-west2
- europe-west4
- me-west1
- me-central1
- me-central2

Run the following command:

gcloud transcoder templates delete TEMPLATE_ID --location=LOCATION

You should see a response similar to the following:

Deleted template [projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION/jobTemplates/TEMPLATE_ID].
