Hi Elaine,

We now have the session copy API in our REST API (/api/v1/sessions/{id}/sessioncopy).

https://demo.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Api/Docs/index.html#/Sessions/Sessions_Copy

You can use this API to do a full or reference copy of the session.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Adis

I see this has been sitting for a few years, but I am now running into the scenario that Douglas mentions above - two courses taught together with two separate Canvas instances (and because of that, Panopto folders for each course.) While we can manually create reference copies, it would be great to automate this from one course folder to another. I had thought about just embedding the Panopto link into the other course, but permissions for viewing would be an issue.

Any thought about making the ability to automatically create a reference copy to another folder rather than make this something manual that the faculty has to do themselves?

Thank you for your reply.

Hi Elaine,

You could do the following if you want recording that already completed:

1. Get Course Folder ID: You'll need the folder GUID for each course
2. Fetch Sessions: Call GET /api/v1/folders/{folderId}/sessions
3. Get Full Details (optional): For each session, call GET /api/v1/sessions/{sessionId} to get complete URL information
4. Extract Links: Pull the ViewerUrl from each session for sharing

Let me know if you have additional questions.

Thanks,

Adis

Hi Misaki,

For the permissions based stuff you could use either SOAP or REST API to get some of the permission stuff you need.

SOAP API

• https://your-panopto-server/Panopto/PublicAPI/4.0/AccessManagement.svc
• GetSessionAccessDetails(AuthenticationInfo auth, Guid sessionId)

REST API

GET /api/v1/sessions/{sessionId}/permissions

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need details.

Thanks,

Adis

Got it, thanks Adis - much appreciated.
