CoTURN: How to use TURN REST API?

Question

I have build coturn and run it successfully. ip:192.168.1.111. Now the question I faced is to get the Turn credential through REST API. http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ube

Answer 1

Building upon @Mido and @HeyHeyJC answers, here is the Python implementation to build credentials for coturn.

import hashlib
import hmac
import base64
from time import time

user = 'your-arbitrary-username'
secret = 'this-is-the-secret-configured-for-coturn-server'

ttl = 24 * 3600 # Time to live
timestamp = int(time()) + ttl
username = str(timestamp) + ':' + user
dig = hmac.new(secret, username, hashlib.sha1).digest()
password = base64.b64encode(dig).decode()

print('username: %s' % username)
print('password: %s' % password)

Here is a web based page to test the login to your coturn server. Use turn:host.example.com as the server name.
