Class OpenTok
public class OpenTok
extends java.lang.Object
To create a new OpenTok object, call the OpenTok constructor with your OpenTok API key and the API secret for your Vonage Video API account. Do not publicly share your API secret. You will use it with the OpenTok constructor (only on your web server) to create OpenTok sessions.
Be sure to include the entire OpenTok server SDK on your web server.

generateToken
public java.lang.String generateToken(java.lang.String sessionId, TokenOptions tokenOptions) throws OpenTokExceptionCreates a token for connecting to an OpenTok session. In order to authenticate a user connecting to an OpenTok session, the client passes a token when connecting to the session.The following example shows how to obtain a token that has a role of "subscriber" and that has a connection metadata string:
import com.opentok.Role; import com.opentok.TokenOptions; class Test { public static void main(String argv[]) throws OpenTokException { int API_KEY = 0; // Replace with your OpenTok API key (see https://tokbox.com/account). String API_SECRET = ""; // Replace with your OpenTok API secret. OpenTok sdk = new OpenTok(API_KEY, API_SECRET); //Generate a basic session. Or you could use an existing session ID. String sessionId = System.out.println(sdk.createSession()); // Replace with meaningful metadata for the connection. String connectionMetadata = "username=Bob,userLevel=4"; // Use the Role value appropriate for the user. String role = Role.SUBSCRIBER; // Generate a token: TokenOptions options = new TokenOptions.Buider().role(role).data(connectionMetadata).build(); String token = sdk.generateToken(sessionId, options); System.out.println(token); } }
For testing, you can also generate tokens by logging in to your Vonage Video API account.
- Parameters:
sessionId
- The session ID corresponding to the session to which the user will connect.tokenOptions
- This TokenOptions object defines options for the token. These include the following:- The role of the token (subscriber, publisher, or moderator)
- The expiration time of the token
- Connection data describing the end-user
- Returns:
- The token string.
- Throws:
OpenTokException
-
generateToken
Creates a token for connecting to an OpenTok session, using the default settings. The default settings are the following:- The token is assigned the role of publisher.
- The token expires 24 hours after it is created.
- The token includes no connection data.
The following example shows how to generate a token that has the default settings:
import com.opentok.OpenTok; class Test { public static void main(String argv[]) throws OpenTokException { int API_KEY = 0; // Replace with your OpenTok API key (see https://tokbox.com/account). String API_SECRET = ""; // Replace with your OpenTok API secret. OpenTok sdk = new OpenTok(API_KEY, API_SECRET); //Generate a basic session. Or you could use an existing session ID. String sessionId = System.out.println(sdk.createSession().getSessionId()); String token = sdk.generateToken(sessionId); System.out.println(token); } }
- Parameters:
sessionId
- The session ID corresponding to the session to which the user will connect.- Returns:
- The token string.
- Throws:
OpenTokException
- See Also:
generateToken(String, TokenOptions)
-
createSession
Creates a new OpenTok session.For example, when using the OpenTok.js library, use the session ID when calling the OT.initSession() method (to initialize an OpenTok session).
OpenTok sessions do not expire. However, authentication tokens do expire (see the
generateToken(String, TokenOptions)
method). Also note that sessions cannot explicitly be destroyed.A session ID string can be up to 255 characters long.
Calling this method results in an
OpenTokException
in the event of an error. Check the error message for details.The following code creates a session that attempts to send streams directly between clients (falling back to use the OpenTok TURN server to relay streams if the clients cannot connect):
import com.opentok.MediaMode; import com.opentok.OpenTok; import com.opentok.Session; import com.opentok.SessionProperties; class Test { public static void main(String argv[]) throws OpenTokException { int API_KEY = 0; // Replace with your OpenTok API key. String API_SECRET = ""; // Replace with your OpenTok API secret. OpenTok sdk = new OpenTok(API_KEY, API_SECRET); SessionProperties sp = new SessionProperties().Builder() .mediaMode(MediaMode.RELAYED).build(); Session session = sdk.createSession(sp); System.out.println(session.getSessionId()); } }
You can also create a session using the OpenTok REST API or or by logging in to your Vonage Video API account.- Parameters:
properties
- This SessionProperties object defines options for the session. These include the following:- Whether the session's streams will be transmitted directly between peers or using the OpenTok Media Router.
- A location hint for the location of the OpenTok server to use for the session.
- Returns:
- A Session object representing the new session. Call the
getSessionId()
method of the Session object to get the session ID, which uniquely identifies the session. You will use this session ID in the client SDKs to identify the session. - Throws:
OpenTokException
-
createSession
Creates an OpenTok session with the default settings:- The media mode is "relayed". The session will attempt to transmit streams directly between clients. If two clients cannot send and receive each others' streams, due to firewalls on the clients' networks, their streams will be relayed using the OpenTok TURN Server.
- The session uses the first client connecting to determine the location of the OpenTok server to use.
The following example creates a session that uses the default settings:
import com.opentok.OpenTok; import com.opentok.SessionProperties; class Test { public static void main(String argv[]) throws OpenTokException { int API_KEY = 0; // Replace with your OpenTok API key. String API_SECRET = ""; // Replace with your OpenTok API secret. OpenTok sdk = new OpenTok(API_KEY, API_SECRET); String sessionId = sdk.createSession(); System.out.println(sessionId); } }
- Returns:
- A Session object representing the new session. Call the
getSessionId()
method of the Session object to get the session ID, which uniquely identifies the session. You will use this session ID in the client SDKs to identify the session. - Throws:
OpenTokException
