HeyWatch API: New Encoding Option: duration

This is the duration in second of the encoded video. It’s available in Job resource and Download resource as usual.

New Client Libraries for HeyWatch

We’ve released several client libraries in the last few days.

Ruby: http://github.com/particles/heywatch-ruby
Python: http://github.com/particles/heywatch-python
PHP: http://github.com/particles/heywatch-php (by madewithlove)
.NET: http://github.com/particles/heywatch-dotnet

NodeJS, Java and iOS will come soon.

Note that the ruby lib is a complete rewrite of the old gem and it’s not compatible. Also this release is a bit special because the new gem provides a command line interface (CLI) to manage all your videos, jobs, etc… In other words everything on HeyWatch.

Usage: heywatch RESOURCE:METHOD [ID] [parameter1=value1 parameter2=value2 ...]

    Resources:

      account       # account information
      video         # manage video         | all, info, delete, count, bin            
      encoded_video # manage encoded video | all, info, delete, count, bin, jpg       
      download      # manage download      | all, info, delete, count, create         
      job           # manage job           | all, info, delete, count, create         
      format        # manage format        | all, info, delete, count, create, update 

    Usage:

Don’t hesitate to fork those libraries on github to improve / fix them. If you’ve wrote a lib yourself, please let us know so we can add it to the list.
