  Hi Noor,
  
  Yes I think it is possible, we have sessions api that returns information if session has captions and url for download.

  Create a Databricks notebook that has auth + enumerate sessions + download caption/audio + write Delta.

  Thanks,

  Adis

  Hi Noor,

  Panopto requires the Client Credentials flow for server-to-server integrations like Databricks.

  • Setup: Go to Panopto Admin > System > API Clients
  • Grant Type: client_credentials
  • Logic: Your notebook should first POST to https://[your-site]/Panopto/oauth2/connect/token to receive a Bearer token

  Use the GET /api/v1/sessions/search or the specific folder enumeration endpoints.

  • Check for Captions: Look for the HasCaptions boolean in the response
  • Retrieve URLs: You’ll need the Id of the session to construct the download path

  Something similar to this:

  import requests
  
  import pandas as pd
  
  
  # 1. Get Token
  auth_res = requests.post(
  
  f"https://{panopto_server}/Panopto/oauth2/connect/token",
  
  data={"grant_type": "client_credentials"},
  
  auth=(client_id, client_secret)
  
  )
  
  token = auth_res.json()["access_token"]
  
  headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"}
  
  
  # 2. Get Session Metadata
  sessions = requests.get(f"https://{panopto_server}/Panopto/api/v1/sessions/search", headers=headers).json()
  
  
  # 3. Process and Write
  
  data_list = []
  
  for s in sessions['Results']:
  
  # Logic to download srt/mp3 goes here
  
  data_list.append({"id": s['Id'], "title": s['Name'], "has_captions": s['HasCaptions']})
  df = spark.createDataFrame(pd.DataFrame(data_list))
  
  df.write.format("delta").mode("append").saveAsTable("panopto_ingestion_log")
  

  I hope this helps.
  
  Thanks,
  
  Adis
