In your app
A controller answers a route on your app: it callsgetMediaVideo() and returns the answer.
Add the controller
app/controllers/get_media_video_controller.ts
Add the route
start/routes.ts
Call it

A
MediaVideo. One video from the Videos library. Read its properties (mediaVideo.id): each says whether the site always sends it. The example answer is the site’s wire JSON: one key differs from the property names (_id → id).Errors
Errors
Nothing to catch: the SDK retries what is safe, and throws the rest as the classes below. Your exception handler turns them into your app’s own answers, once for every call (see Map SDK errors to responses); catch only what you want to react to here.
The API key is missing, malformed, unknown, disabled, expired or archived, or a request its signing mode requires to be signed is not.Retried first: No. Read:
siteMessage, errorName, data.The API key lacks the scope this route needs, is used from outside its allowlist, or the caller is anonymous.Retried first: No. Read:
siteMessage, errorName, data.The key used up its reads-per-minute limit. Still, after the client’s own waits and retries.Retried first: Yes: the client waits
Retry-After (1 s when absent; over 60 s it gives up at once) and retries, up to retries times (2 by default). Read: retryAfter (seconds, or null), siteMessage.The site failed (or something in front of it did). Its logs say why.Retried first: A 502, 503 or 504: yes, after 0.5 s then 1 s. A 500: no. Read:
siteMessage, errorName, data.No answer: DNS, a refused connection, TLS, or the timeout (15 s per attempt by default).Retried first: Yes, after 0.5 s then 1 s. Read:
reason, neverConnected.The client refused to send it (e.g. a path segment of
..); the site never saw it.Retried first: No. Read: reason (what to change).Any other status, or a success whose JSON doesn’t match this SDK version’s types (update the SDK).Retried first: No. Read:
reason, status.sites.forSite('acme') named a slug config/attract.ts doesn’t list (with the keys in the database: no row in attract_api_keys).Retried first: No: nothing was sent. Read: message, slug.Behavior
- Access: an API key with
videos:read— ormedia:all, oradmin:all— or any signed-in CMS user (who sees only what they may view). Anonymous callers get 403. - Retries: a read is safe to repeat: the client retries it on no answer, a 502/503/504 and a 429.
- Timeout: 15 s per attempt by default; raise
timeout(milliseconds) inconfig/attract.tsfor longer.

Test it
It calls the controller above with the SDK faked:fakeAttract() puts the fake in the container for this one test, and it answers every call with a valid example, so nothing leaves your machine and no key is read. Save it as tests/unit/fetchski_media_get_media_video.spec.ts, then run your tests:
tests/unit/fetchski_media_get_media_video.spec.ts
Terminal
