Hello, I’m unable to get the app token request flow described on https://developer.kaltura.com/api-docs/VPaaS-API-Getting-Started/Authorizing-With-Application-Token.html to work.
According to the documentation, it appears that I should be requesting an app token session based on a widget session, but I’m getting a “KalturaException: The access to service [appToken->startSession] is forbidden (SERVICE_FORBIDDEN)”. I’m not sure if that’s because of the widgetSession itself, the particular hash I’ve built, the roles associated with the user/app token, or what exactly. Any help would be appreciated, even simply examples of how to get this to work in other languages.
Python code:
kaltura_session = client.session.startWidgetSession(widget_id)
token_session_hash = hashlib.sha1(kaltura_session.ks + app_token.token).hexdigest()
priveleged_kaltura_session = client.appToken.startSession(app_token.id, token_session_hash)
