The Red5 Go Backend SDK allows your backend server to generate secure tokens for:

• Video conferences

• Real-time chat messaging

Use these tokens in your Red5 frontend applications to authenticate users without exposing your master credentials.

Installation

go get github.com/red5pro/red5-bcs-go

Client Setup

Import the package and create a new client using your master credentials.

Example:

package main

import (
“fmt”
“log”
“github.com/red5pro/red5-bcs-go”
)

func main() {
  masterKey := “YOUR_MASTER_KEY”
  masterSecret := “YOUR_MASTER_SECRET”
}

Conference Tokens

Generate a token for joining a video conference room.

Function:

GetConferenceToken(userId, roomId, role string, expirationMinutes int) (string, error)

Parameters:

• userId – unique user ID

• roomId – conference room ID

• role – admin, publisher, or subscriber

• expirationMinutes – token validity duration (minutes)

Example:

conferenceToken, err := client.GetConferenceToken(
“someUser”,
“someRoom”,
“publisher”,
60,
)

fmt.Println(conferenceToken)

Roles

Chat Tokens

Generate a token for secure chat messaging.

Function:

GetChatToken(userId, channelId string, read, write bool, ttlMinutes int) (string, error)

Parameters:

• userId – unique user identity

• channelId – chat room ID

• read – grant message read permission

• write – grant message send permission

• ttlMinutes – token validity duration (minutes)

Example:

chatToken, err := client.GetChatToken(
“user123”,
“channel-global”,
true,

30,
)

fmt.Println(chatToken)

Example: Full Application

package main

import (
“fmt”
“log”
“github.com/red5pro/red5-bcs-go”
)

func main() {
masterKey := “MASTER_KEY”
masterSecret := “MASTER_SECRET”
client, _ := red5bcs.NewRed5Client(masterKey, masterSecret)

// Admin conference token (2 hours)
adminToken, _ := client.GetConferenceToken(
	"userA",
	"room1",
	"admin",
	120,
)
fmt.Println(adminToken)

// Chat token (read/write)
chatToken, _ := client.GetChatToken(
	"userA",
	"channel1",
	true,
	true,
	60,
)
fmt.Println(chatToken)
}
