VTurb API

The progress bar here is the decoy bar — the one that advances on its own curve to keep the viewer engaged, independent of the real seek position. This is a merge-patch: send only the keys you want to change and everything else keeps its stored value.

Make it tall and red

curl -X PATCH https://api.vturb.com/v1/videos/{id} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer vt_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "progress_bar": { "enabled": true, "height": 8, "use_base_color": false, "color": "#FF0000" } }'

{
  "progress_bar": {
    "enabled": true,
    "height": 8,
    "use_base_color": false,
    "color": "#FF0000"
  }
}

The keys

Key	Type	Writes
`enabled`	boolean	Shows or hides the bar
`height`	integer	Bar height in pixels
`use_base_color`	boolean	Reuse the player’s base color instead of `color`
`color`	string	Hex color of the bar, e.g. `#FF0000`

GET also returns current_color — the color the bar is actually rendering with right now. It’s derived, so writes to it are ignored.
