Basic example of populating Open Graph Metadata from the Video Cloud Media API This expects the video ID to be in the URL as a query parameter - bctid. Would be good to cache this as the information retrieved would be quite static. Requires PHP Media API wrapper https://github.com/BrightcoveOS/PHP-MAPI-Wrapper

opengraph.php

<?php
$bc_player_id       = '123456789';  // Player to use on Facebook - usually your viral player 
$bc_player_key      = 'AQ~~,AAAAABCDEFGabcdefg123456789'; // The player key for the same player
$bc_video_id        = '123456789';  // Default video ID - overridden by ?bctid if present
$bc_japan_account   = false;        // Set to true only if a Brightcove Japan account
$bc_read_token      = 'ABCDEFG123456789abcdefg123456789'; // Your read token

// https://github.com/BrightcoveOS/PHP-MAPI-Wrapper
require('bc-mapi.php');

$bc = new BCMAPI($bc_read_token, 'noWriteTokenNeeded');

if ($bc_japan_account == true) {
  $bc->__set('url_read', 'api.brightcove.co.jp/services/library?');
  $bc->__set('url_write', 'api.brightcove.co.jp/services/post');
  $bc_domain = "brightcove.co.jp";
} else {
  $bc_domain = "brightcove.com";
}

$url="http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

if (isset($_GET['bctid'])) {
  $bc_video_id = $_GET['bctid'];
}

$params = array('video_id' => $bc_video_id,'video_fields' => 'name,shortDescription,videoStillURL,videoFullLength');

$video = $bc->find('videoById', $params);
