PHP Kuaishou API interface development practice: how to download and transcode videos

Introduction:
Nowadays, short videos have become an indispensable part of people's lives. Short video platforms like Kuaishou have also become one of the important platforms for everyone to share their lives, entertain and relax. If we want to use Kuaishou's video resources in our own website or application, we need to understand how to use the Kuaishou API interface for development. This article will introduce in detail how to use PHP to write programs to realize the downloading and transcoding functions of Kuaishou videos.

1. Understand the API interface
Kuaishou provides a set of API interfaces to facilitate developers to obtain video resources on the platform. Before starting development, we need to understand the usage and parameter rules of these interfaces. For details, please refer to the official documentation provided by Kuaishou: https://open.kuaishou.com/docs

2. Download video
In Kuaishou’s video interface, there is an API for obtaining video information: /video/ info. Through this interface we can obtain the URL address of the video. We can use PHP's curl extension module to grab the video and save it locally.

Sample code:

// 获取视频信息
$videoUrl = 'http://xxxxx'; // 快手视频的URL地址
$apiUrl = 'http://xxxxx/video/info?videoUrl=' . urlencode($videoUrl);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $apiUrl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

// 解析返回的JSON数据
$data = json_decode($response, true);
$videoUrl = $data['video']['srcNoMark']['url'];

// 下载视频
$savePath = '/path/to/save/video.mp4'; // 保存路径及文件名
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $videoUrl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$videoData = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
file_put_contents($savePath, $videoData);

3. Transcoded video
Since Kuaishou’s videos may be stored using a special encoding format, if we want to play them on our website or application These videos need to be transcoded into a common encoding format (such as MP4). FFmpeg is an open source multimedia processing tool that we can use to transcode videos.

Sample code:

$videoPath = '/path/to/video.mp4'; // 待转码的视频路径
$outputPath = '/path/to/converted_video.mp4'; // 转码后的视频路径

// 使用FFmpeg进行转码
$cmd = "ffmpeg -i $videoPath -codec copy $outputPath";
exec($cmd);

Conclusion:
Through the above steps, we can realize the download and transcoding functions of Kuaishou videos. In this way, we can easily use Kuaishou’s video resources on our own websites or applications. Of course, there are many details that need to be paid attention to during development. For example, for large-scale video downloading and transcoding, technologies such as segmented downloading and asynchronous transcoding may need to be considered. I hope this article can be helpful to everyone, and I wish everyone can successfully complete the development of Kuaishou API interface. If you still don’t understand something, you can refer to the official documentation or conduct further study and practice. come on!
