Implementing Solutions with Mlytics API

Below are step-by-step instructions to configure prefetching and enable Range Requests using the Mlytics API.

Configuring Prefetching

Step 1: Identify Content to Prefetch

Determine the URLs of the files or directories that need to be prefetched to CDN edge nodes.

Step 2: Use the Prefetch API Endpoint

Make a POST request to the /prefetch endpoint with the list of URLs.

API Endpoint:

POST /api/v1/prefetch

Headers:

• Content-Type: application/json
• Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Request Body:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://yourdomain.com/firmware/update1.bin",
    "https://yourdomain.com/game/install.pkg"
  ]
}

Example using cURL:

curl -X POST https://api.mlytics.com/api/v1/prefetch \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-d '{
  "urls": [
    "https://yourdomain.com/firmware/update1.bin",
    "https://yourdomain.com/game/install.pkg"
  ]
}'

Step 3: Schedule Prefetching (Optional)

If you want to schedule the prefetch operation:

• Include a scheduled_time parameter in your request body in ISO 8601 format.

Example:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://yourdomain.com/firmware/update1.bin"
  ],
  "scheduled_time": "2023-11-10T10:00:00Z"
}

Configuring Range Requests

Step 1: Access Your CDN Configuration

Use the Mlytics API to access and modify your CDN settings.

Step 2: Enable Range Request to Origin

Make a PUT request to the CDN configuration endpoint to enable Range Requests.

API Endpoint: See the following recipe for more instructions.

curl -X PUT https://api.mlytics.com/api/v1/cdn/configuration \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-d '{
  "range_request_origin": true
}'

Step 3: Verify Configuration

Retrieve your CDN configuration to ensure that the range_request_origin setting is enabled.

API Endpoint:

GET /api/v1/cdn/configuration

Example using cURL:

curl -X GET https://api.mlytics.com/api/v1/cdn/configuration \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Expected Response:

{
  "range_request_origin": true,
  "other_settings": "..."
}

GET /firmware/latest.bin HTTP/1.1  
Host: download.example.com  
Range: bytes=1000-2000
