GridBank APIs
GridBank has two APIs. They serve different audiences, take different credentials, and neither is built on the other. Pick the one that matches how you get your content.
Partner API
Your own library — the clips your GridBank account has already licensed. Keys are self-service from your account settings.
- List what you have licensed, newest purchase first
- Issue a signed download URL for any clip you own
- 300 requests per minute per account
Enterprise API
Leased collections on an enterprise contract — search the GridBank catalogue and download from the collection your contract covers. Keys are issued during onboarding.
- Full-text search across the catalogue
- Video metadata, signed downloads, usage and quota
- Rate limits and quota by contract tier
Which one am I using?
| Partner API | Enterprise API | |
|---|---|---|
| Content | What your account licensed | What your contract leases |
| Base path | /partner/v1 |
/external/v1 |
| Get a key | Account settings on gridbank.io | Issued by GridBank during onboarding |
| SDK client | PartnerClient |
EnterpriseClient |
Both clients ship in the same packages — gridbank-api on PyPI, @gridbank/api-js on
npm — so installing once gives you either.
