Readiant

With Readiant’s technology, ePub and PDF files are converted to a modern streaming format. The result is stored in a decentralized manner and therefore cannot be multiplied without permission.

This process consists of the following steps:

1. Convert an ePub or PDF
2. Maintain a collection of documents
3. Distribute embedcodes
4. Embed a document
5. Analyze usage

All of these steps can be performed from the Readiant environment. Step 1 - 3 can also be performed through the Readiant API.

Latest Changes

Below are the latest changes to this documentation.

Last updated on September 23rd, 2022.

Converter

An ePub or PDF file can be converted in 2 different ways.

In the Readiant environment the user can add multiple files to the conversion queue, after which they are converted one by one.

Alternatively a file can also be converted via the add document-endpoint.

In both cases, the original files are not stored in any way.

Documents

All the converted documents will be available in the Readiant environment. Users can add, edit or delete metadata from the documents. These metadata fields will automatically become available to a linked platform.

In the Readiant environment documents can be filtered by metadata. These filters can be stored and used as a basis for Analytics.

The Readiant API also exposes add, update and delete-endpoints through which an authenticated user can add and manage documents. For more information about managing documents via the Readiant API we refer you to the Documents section.

Distributor

Unlimited embedcodes can be created for the converted documents. An embedcode should be created for every unique instance where you can have reader(s) for a document.

Embedcodes are only available for the given domain(s) which should be able to access the document. Every embedcode can have different settings, based on the needs for the specific reader(s). For instance, you can

• Set a period in which the book can be read
• Set a limit on the number of concurrent readers
• Set a limit on the amount of pages that can be read
• Set a custom layout
• More features will be added in the future

It will not be necessary to convert a document multiple times.

Embedcodes can be created, managed and distributed in the Readiant environment.

The Readiant API also exposes add, update and delete-endpoints through which an authenticated user can add and manage documents. For more information about managing documents via the Readiant API we refer you to the Embeds section.

Recommended flow It's recommended to use temporary embedcodes when presenting documents to reader(s). When a reader requests to read a document, a temporary embedcode should be created on the fly for that document identifier using the API.

A temporary embedcode is active for 1 hour, activity in the reader extends this duration.

Embed

A document can be embedded on a selected domain using the following HTML-code:

<iframe
  src="https://readiant.app/e/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
  title="Describe the contents of the frame to people using assistive technology"
  sandbox="allow-modals allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-popups" allowfullscreen>
</iframe>

Where xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx is the generated embedcode. When the domain is authorized to access the document, a reader will appear in the selected layout.

Optional Parameters

Events

In order to gain insight in the various events performed by an end user you can setup a postMessage communication link between the iframe and the parent. Using this communcation link you can listen to events being performed by the end user and use this information to your advantage.

window.addEventListener('message', (event) => {
    if (event.origin !== 'https://readiant.app') {
        return;
    }

    // Contains the data relevant for the event type.
    const data = event.data;

    switch (data.type) {
        case 'audio_play': {
            // Perform an action based upon the end user playing audio.
        }
        case 'next_page': {
            // Perform an action based upon the end user flipping a page.
        }
        // Etc.
    }
});

Some events can also be used to send requests to the iframe (after the ready state event was sent by the iframe) containing the document in order to perform certain actions in the reader. This uses the same postMessage communication link as when listening for events.

// The iframe embedding the Readiant document.
const iframe = document.getElementById('example');

// Play audio on the current page.
iframe.contentWindow.postMessage({ type: 'audio_play' }, '*');

// Navigate the document to the next page.
iframe.contentWindow.postMessage({ type: 'next_page' }, '*');

// Etc.

Analytics

Readiant tracks detailed, real-time user data of all embedded documents. In the Readiant environment users can generate document specific statistics based on stored document filters and added metadata.

Because Readiant doesn’t have (and doesn’t want to have) access to privacy sensitive end-user data, we only store anonymous end-user activity. This way the statistics generated in the Readiant environment only reflect global anonoymous end-user activity, specified by embedcode or domain.

However, if there is a need to track the patterns of individual users an identifier can be sent as an optional parameter when embedding the document. This way Readiant can generate analytics based upon the patterns of these identifiers.

API Reference

This version of the Readiant API uses a REST API Architecture with JSON data formats. The API follows the standard HTTP request-response exchange.

All endpoints require you to have the following:

• A Readiant account
• A registered client
• A developer environment setup
• Authentication

OAuth 2.0

Readiant implements OAuth 2.0 to provide authorized access to the API.

OAuth 2.0 is the industry-standard protocol for authorization. OAuth 2.0 supersedes the work done on the original OAuth protocol created in 2006. OAuth 2.0 focuses on client developer simplicity while providing specific authorization flows for web applications, desktop applications, mobile phones, and living room devices.

Access Token

Access tokens are the thing that applications use to make API requests on behalf of a user. The access token represents the authorization of a specific application to access specific parts of a user’s data.

Access tokens must be kept confidential in transit and in storage. The only parties that should ever see the access token are the application itself, the authorization server, and resource server. The application should ensure the storage of the access token is not accessible to other applications on the same device. The access token can only be used over an https connection, since passing it over a non-encrypted channel would make it trivial for third parties to intercept.

The token endpoint is where apps make a request to get an access token for a user. Access tokens are short lived (3600 seconds). When the service issues the access token it also generates a refresh token that lasts for 14 days and returns that in the response as well.

This endpoint requires basic authentication via a bearer token. The steps to encode an application’s client ID and secret into a set of credentials to obtain a bearer token are:

1. URL encode the consumer key and the consumer secret according to RFC 1738. Note that at the time of writing, this will not actually change the client id and secret, but this step should still be performed in case the format of those values changes in the future.
2. Concatenate the encoded client id, a colon character ”:”, and the encoded client secret into a single string.
3. Base64 encode the string from the previous step.

Errors

In the event that the API returns an error, we refer you to the Errors section.

Refresh Token

The Refresh Token grant type is used by clients to exchange a refresh token for an access token when the access token has expired.

This allows clients to continue to have a valid access token without further interaction with the user.

This endpoint requires basic authentication via a bearer token. The steps to encode an application’s client ID and secret into a set of credentials to obtain a bearer token are:

1. URL encode the consumer key and the consumer secret according to RFC 1738. Note that at the time of writing, this will not actually change the client id and secret, but this step should still be performed in case the format of those values changes in the future.
2. Concatenate the encoded client id, a colon character ”:”, and the encoded client secret into a single string.

Revoke Token

This endpoint requires basic authentication via a bearer token. The steps to encode an application’s client ID and secret into a set of credentials to revoke a previously issued refresh token are:

1. URL encode the consumer key and the consumer secret according to RFC 1738. Note that at the time of writing, this will not actually change the client id and secret, but this step should still be performed in case the format of those values changes in the future.
2. Concatenate the encoded client id, a colon character ”:”, and the encoded client secret into a single string.
3. Base64 encode the string from the previous step.

Errors

In the event that the API returns an error, we refer you to the Errors section.

Errors

Error responses are served with a non-200-series HTTP code. Usually a JSON response will be attached, but some errors will respond with different kinds of body. In these circumstances where a response structure cannot be parsed, consider the HTTP code's core meaning to take precedence. For instance, you may occasionally see a HTTP 404 along with a HTML response. In this case, it's safe to assume that the content cannot be found (HTTP 404 means "Not Found").
