Php for song contest website

There are many times that I want to use a really cool third party code and can't figure out how to integrate their api. Their documentation is not the best at giving real life examples of how to use them. For example I have been working on a singing competition website and wanted to integrate wistia.

Now you would think that they would have some great documentation given examples of how to use their code. Nope like many others they lack examples and I was forced to go online to find some. Unfortunatley I could not find anything out there and was stuck fumbling around with the code. Lucky for me that they have a javascript upload function that takes the code and fixes it for the song without having to do much. All you need is the hash id and you can upload the video and get the hash out all in one smooth transition.

The great thing about using their website to handle the video is that you can use all their tools. The bad thing is their pricing. Wow it is pretty expensive event if your song contest is number one on the internet.

The bottom line is that they need to offer us more when it comes to real life examples. I recommend that they have exapmles for php and ruby at the very least.
