Here you can find installation manual - http://xibo.org.uk/manual-tempel/en/release_notes_1.8.0-rc2.html

We do recommend docker installation.

Thank you for helping.

I succeed to install Xibo 1.8.0 on port <my_ip>:8080

I am now trying to create a python script which communicate with XIbo API.
I have followed the tutorial http://xibo.org.uk/2014/02/19/scripting-xibo-content-management-a-brief-tour-of-the-api/

In the past, I was succeeded in creating a python script with Xibo v1.7.9
BUT I do not succeed to creating one with Xibo 1.8.0-rc2 …

I get an Error 404.
Herebelow :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “ReplaceVideo.py”, line 114, in
api = XiboAPI.XiboAPI()
File “/var/www/html/CMS-script/xibo_com/1.8.0-rc2/XiboAPI.py”, line 71, in init
user_token, user_secret = self.setupUserToken(url,consumer_key,consumer_secret)
File “/var/www/html/CMS-script/xibo_com/1.8.0-rc2/XiboAPI.py”, line 101, in setupUserToken
raise Exception(“Invalid response %s.” % resp[‘status’])
Exception: Invalid response 404.

The consumer_secret key seems to be very long … Is that normal ?

Could you help me please ?

That bried tour of the api is an old article regarding 1.7 API.

For 1.8 please see http://xibo.org.uk/manual-tempel/en/api.html

and my API Introduction with Postman

Yes, client_secret is rather long :slight_smile:
You should find asnwers to your question in manual pages and/or my API introduction topic.

If you’d have more questions, please feel free to ask.

Thank you for your answer,

I have followed your tutorial until “Application Configuration”.

I do not understand what Postman stand for…
Actually,
I need to create a Python or PHP script which manage my players through Xibo API.

How can I do it ?
SHall I use Postman?

Thanks,

You don’t need to use Postman, although I personally find it very suitable, that’s why it’s in my guide, but you can use any application to communicate with the CMS API - http://xibo.org.uk/manual-tempel/en/cms_api.html

In all cases, you will need to create a new application in CMS and then use clientId and clientSecret along with access_token call to gain access to API.
