Credential Differences Between OpenTok and Unified Environments

Yukari Dumburs

Symptom

When migrating from the OpenTok environment to the Unified environment, developers are often confused about which credentials to use.

Applies To

  • Video API
  • Migrate from OpenTok to Unified

Resolution

The type of credentials you use depends on the environment:

OpenTok Unified

Project key (Example: 12345678)

 

Application ID (Example: abc123-abc123-abc123-abc123)

 

Project secret (Example: abc123...)

Private key

(Example:

-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
abc123...
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----)

Account key (Example: 12345678) Account key (Example: abc123...)
Account secret (Example: abc123...) Account secret (Example: abc123...)

If you are still on OpenTok, continue to use Project key/Project secret.

If you have migrated to Unified, always switch to Application ID/Private key.
