Creating and managing jobs

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

A job represents the basic unit for managing work with the Transcoder API. When you submit a job to the Transcoder API, you specify the geographic location it should be processed in. You can list all jobs in a region.

To learn more about working with jobs and related Google Cloud resources across geographic regions, see Regions.

Set up your Google Cloud project and authentication

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

Creating jobs

You can create jobs using either a preset job template or a custom job template you have created. To learn how to create a job template, see Creating and managing job templates. Instead of using a template, you can also create a job and directly send the configuration of the job in the request.

The Transcoder API supports two job modes: interactive and batch. The following sections describe how to start a job in interactive mode. To start a job in batch mode, you must set an additional field (see more information on batch jobs).

Creating jobs based on presets

To create a job, use the projects.locations.jobs.create method. The job transcodes a media file that is stored as an object in Cloud Storage.

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 will run. 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
  • STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME: The name of the Cloud Storage bucket you created.
  • STORAGE_INPUT_VIDEO: The name of the video in your Cloud Storage bucket that you are transcoding, such as my-vid.mp4. This field should take into account any folders that you created in the bucket (for example, input/my-vid.mp4).
  • STORAGE_OUTPUT_FOLDER: The Cloud Storage folder name where you want to save the encoded video outputs.

To send your request, expand one of these options:

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

Creating jobs based on job templates

If you've created at least one job template in a location, you can specify a job template when sending a request to create a Transcoder API job in that location.

To create a job, use the projects.locations.jobs.create method.

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 will run. 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
  • STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME: The name of the Cloud Storage bucket you created.
  • STORAGE_INPUT_VIDEO: The name of the video in your Cloud Storage bucket that you are transcoding, such as my-vid.mp4. This field should take into account any folders that you created in the bucket (for example, input/my-vid.mp4).
  • STORAGE_OUTPUT_FOLDER: The Cloud Storage folder name where you want to save the encoded video outputs.
  • TEMPLATE_ID: The ID of the job template you created. If you don't specify a custom job template, the Transcoder API uses the preset/web-hd job template.

To send your request, expand one of these options:

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

    • STORAGE_INPUT_VIDEO: The name of the video in your Cloud Storage bucket that you are transcoding, such as my-vid.mp4. This field should take into account any folders that you created in the bucket (for example, input/my-vid.mp4).

    • STORAGE_OUTPUT_FOLDER: The Cloud Storage folder name where you want to save the encoded video outputs.
    • TEMPLATE_ID: The ID of the job template you created. If you don't specify a custom job template, the Transcoder API uses the preset/web-hd job template.
  2. Run the following command:
    gcloud transcoder jobs create \
      --input-uri="gs://STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME/STORAGE_INPUT_VIDEO" \
      --location=LOCATION \
      --output-uri="gs://STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME/STORAGE_OUTPUT_FOLDER/" \

Creating jobs with ad-hoc configurations

You can send an ad-hoc configuration for a job with the request to create the job.

To create a job, use the projects.locations.jobs.create method.

REST

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

    puts "Job: #{job.name}"

    The response is similar to the response returned when creating a job.

    Listing jobs

    If you want to review all the jobs you created in a location, use the projects.locations.jobs.list method.

    REST

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

  • PROJECT_ID: Your Google Cloud project ID.
  • LOCATION: The location of your jobs. Use one of the supported regions.
    Show locations
    • us-central1
    • us-west1
    • us-west2
    • us-east1
    • us-east4
    • southamerica-east1

    • asia-south1
    • asia-southeast1
    • australia-southeast1
    • europe-west1
    • europe-west2
    • europe-west4
  • To send your request, expand one of these options:

    You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

    {
      "jobs": [
        {
          "name": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/jobs/MY_JOB",
          "config": {
            ....
           },
          "state": "PENDING",
          "createTime": CREATE_TIME,
          "ttlAfterCompletionDays": 30

          "startTime": START_TIME,
          "endTime": END_TIME,
          "ttlAfterCompletionDays": 30
        }
      ]
    }
    

    gcloud

    1. Make the following replacements for the gcloud command:
      • LOCATION: The location of your job(s). Use one of the supported regions.
        Show locations
        • us-central1
        • us-west1

        • australia-southeast1
        • europe-west1
        • europe-west2
        • europe-west4
    2. Run the following command:
      gcloud transcoder jobs list --location=LOCATION
      You should see a response similar to the following:
      NAME                                                    STATE      FAILURE_REASON

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

    puts "Jobs:"
    # Print out all jobs.
    response.each do |job|
      puts job.name
    end

    Additional results

    The list jobs response may include a nextPageToken, which you can use to retrieve additional results:

    {
      "jobs": [
        ...
      ],
      "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 jobs, 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/jobs?pageToken=NEXT_PAGE_TOKEN
    

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

    Filtering results

    You can filter the results of the list jobs method. For example, run the following curl command to list all active jobs:

    curl -X GET \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer "$(gcloud auth application-default print-access-token) \
    'https://transcoder.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION/jobs?filter=-state="FAILED"+AND+-state="SUCCEEDED"'
    

    This command uses the negation operator to list jobs that have not failed AND jobs that have not succeeded. The resulting list contains jobs that are running or pending (see ProcessingState for information on job states).

    The following are some example filters:

    • ?filter=state="FAILED"+OR+state="SUCCEEDED": lists jobs that have completed
    • ?filter=createTime+>+"2021-06-09T19:25:21.007649960Z": lists jobs created after a certain timestamp
    • ?filter=inputUri="gs://STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME/STORAGE_INPUT_VIDEO": lists jobs with a certain input URI
    • ?filter=config.output.uri="gs://STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME/STORAGE_OUTPUT_FOLDER/": lists jobs with a certain output URI

    For more information, see AIP-160 - Filtering.

    Deleting jobs

    To delete a job, use the projects.locations.jobs.delete method.

    1. Make the following replacements for the gcloud command:
