VBScript sample

You can use the following code as a sample:

    Dim xml, sURL, sRequest, result, userID, userKey

    ' put your real userID and userKey below

    userID = "0" 

    userKey = "your_key"

    xml = "<?xml version=""1.0""?>" & VbCrLf

    xml = xml & "<query>" & VbCrLf

    xml = xml & "<userid>" & userID & "</userid>" & VbCrLf

    xml = xml & "<userkey>" & userKey & "</userkey>" & VbCrLf

    xml = xml & "<action>" & "GetMediaList" & "</action>" & VbCrLf

    xml = xml & "</query>" & VbCrLf

    sUrl = "http://manage.encoding.com"

    sRequest = "xml=" & xml

    result = HTTPPost(sUrl, sRequest)

    Function HTTPPost(sUrl, sRequest)

      Set oHTTP = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

      oHTTP.open "POST", sUrl,false

      oHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

      oHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Length", Len(sRequest)

      oHTTP.send sRequest

      HTTPPost = oHTTP.responseText

    End Function

PHP sample

This sample script allows user to enter parameters and send API request for encoding to FLV format:
