[edit] Introduction
If you are a web developer looking for a stable and robust rich media solution for your site - this is the place to start. Here we will walk you through a few simple steps of registration and configuration. Please note that if your site is based on WordPress, MediaWiki or Drupal - Kaltura has developed a plug and play extension for these platforms that will easily get you started. Check out our WordPress Plugin, MediaWiki Extension and our Drupal Module pages for more details.
[edit] Applying for a Partner ID
The first step of the Kaltura integration is to apply for a Kaltura Partner ID. This partner ID is your site’s identification and ticket to the Kaltura platform and API, and will enable you to play, upload and experience all of the Kaltura robust functionality.

Please enter your real name, email and a short description of your site. It is very important you provide us with detailed and legitimate information. You will receive a set of details such as your partner ID and web services secret. We recommend that you save this information somewhere safe. An email will be sent to you as well with this information.
[edit] Prepare your Environment
- Get a Server - We hope this does not come as a shock to you, but in order to have a site you must have a server in place. You will also need that server to enable Kaltura. Apache, IIS and more - everything goes.
- Choose a Language - decide on the right language for you. the Kaltura API Client is available in PHP, Ruby on Rails, .NET, Java and Python. Just make sure you download the relevant Kaltura API Client.
[edit] Download the Kaltura API Client
To help you with your implementation, we provide several libraries written in various languages which implement the calls to our APIs. You can use these in place of raw calls to an API. For each language, the client library lets you easily construct queries and use response data without having to create HTTP requests or process HTTP responses by hand. Each client library provides classes that correspond to the elements and data types used by the Kaltura APIs.
[edit] Configure your Partner
The new Kaltura Management Console (KMC) will be rolled out soon, but until then you can contact the Kaltura team for configuring your partner settings.
[edit] That's It!
You are all set. Now follow the Basic Kaltura Integration Guide and good luck!
