A client application must set up a new OTT session before starting playback. After a session has been successfully set up, the device may begin playing the content.
Request
To set up a new OTT session, send an HTTP POST request to:
http://<host>:<port>/{frontEndAddress}/{tenantId}/ssm/v1/sessions/setup
Headers
-
nv-authorizations– the request authorisation token. It can either be an SSP content authorisation token or an SSP device authentication token.
Response
A successful response returns an HTTP 200 status. The response body contains:
-
The heartbeat period, in seconds (that is, how often the application must send a keep-alive request)
-
The SSP session token to be used in the next request
Example
{
"heartBeat": 30,
"sessionToken": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ2ZXIiOiIxLjAiLCJkZXZpY2VJZCI6IjViNTg2NTFkYTRhNWQ1MDAwMWZkMGI2MCIsInRlbmFudElkIjoibmFncmEiLCJleHAiOjI1MjQ2MDgwMDAsImFjY291bnRJZCI6ImFjY291bnRJZDEiLCJqdGkiOiI0ZTU3NTExNi02N2Y0LTQ0MjEtOGNjMC04Yzc3NjljNWE0ZmIiLCJ0eXAiOiJEZXZBdXRoTiJ9.sfgCwsBGWG87UCZHDfAa-WnpD8yVopOxds8qkO2GJXA"
