When will it be available?

@cmartinez thank you for sharing the scenario. We do have APIs on our backlog but we can't commit to a timeline. We'd like to get more feedback on capabilities before we open up APIs so that we minimize changes once we release. Apologies as you likely needed APIs quick and we are committed to making them available so please stay with us
. Thank you again for trying Stream. Hi @vishal, do you have any idea when the APIs might become available? It would be very useful for us to be able to automate out routine video recordings.

Also, please add this to our ideas
- https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Stream-Ideas/idb-p/StreamIdeas - We would like to connect our video(s) already uploaded into a SharePoint Online video library application without having to reupload them into Stream. Plus having the videos accessible via SharePoint Online in a media library application allows admins to use SharePoint Workflows for the file(s). If videos are uploaded to Stream, where are they stored? Is the only way to access them via Stream interface? Is the only way to access Stream videos in SharePoint via modern page Steam webpart?

Hi @MrNigel, API is definitely on our roadmap. The goal for our preview is that we nail all the feedback we get and incorporate that into the product before we share APIs. We'd love to hear your feedback both on the product and ideas on how you would like to use APIs so that we can consider that feedback.
Thank you for trying Microsoft Stream. How do you like it so far?
what would be great is to facilitate https://h5p.org we use this with the integrated Moodle module for interactive video content. Our issue is, as a Microsoft 365 subscriber, we host our content on stream as part of our college solution this then prevents us using this content to facilitate a more engaging and deeper learning experience through the H5P interactive video software.
- I hope MS makes this happen!
- Hi Vishal,
Any updates on stream apis?
Or can you please tell me when will it be available?Hi SamDhangar did you get any api support ?
We'd love one of two things:
- An API that takes the url to your video page and return direct links to all the video files with information about their resolutions(mp4 files)
- A video player with JavaScript APIs allowing us to completely control the video experience like the one YouTube has for play, pause, seek, get current video time etc.
We will use it to allow your users to use their videos with H5P's Interactive Video content type and other similar H5P video base content types.
