Validation

bash

mkdir -p output/aliyun-vod-manage
python -m py_compile skills/media/vod/aliyun-vod-manage/scripts/list_openapi_meta_apis.py
echo "py_compile_ok" > output/aliyun-vod-manage/validate.txt

Pass criteria: command exits 0 and output/aliyun-vod-manage/validate.txt is generated.

Output And Evidence

• Save API inventory and operation evidence under output/aliyun-vod-manage/.
• Keep region, media IDs, template IDs, and request parameters in evidence files.

Use Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI (RPC) with official SDKs or OpenAPI Explorer to manage VOD resources. Prefer metadata-first API discovery before mutate operations.

Prerequisites

• Prepare least-privilege RAM AccessKey/STS credentials.
• Confirm target region and media scope before changes.
• Use read-only Describe* / List* APIs first.

Workflow

1. Confirm target media IDs, storage scope, and desired operation.
2. Discover API names and required parameters via metadata and API Explorer.
3. Execute read-only validation calls.
4. Execute upload/process/playback/configuration operations.
5. Save outputs and evidence under output/aliyun-vod-manage/.

AccessKey Priority

1. Environment variables: ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID / ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET / ALICLOUD_REGION_ID.
2. Shared config file: ~/.alibabacloud/credentials.

If region is ambiguous, ask before write operations.
