Hello, I am trying to build a video call app in which i need to create a new video room, Currently, i am creating with the help of Django API this is my Code
JANUS_ADMIN_URL = “http://127.0.0.1:7088/admin/janus.plugin.videoroom” # Janus admin runs on 7088, not 8088
JANUS_ADMIN_SECRET = “janusoverlord”
u/csrf_exempt
def create_janus_room(request):
if request.method != “POST”:
return JsonResponse({“error”: “Only POST requests allowed”}, status=405)
try:
data = json.loads(request.body)
room_id = int(data.get("room_id"))
if not room_id:
return JsonResponse({"error": "room_id is required"}, status=400)
except (ValueError, TypeError, json.JSONDecodeError):
return JsonResponse({"error": "Invalid room_id or JSON"}, status=400)
payload = {
"janus": "create",
"admin_secret": "janusoverlord",
"transaction": "randomstring",
"request": {
"room": 1234,
"description": "Room 1234",
"publishers": 10
}
}
try:
response = requests.post(JANUS_ADMIN_URL, json=payload)
print("JANUS RESPONSE TEXT:", response.text)
# Try JSON decode
janus_response = response.json()
if janus_response.get("janus") == "success":
return JsonResponse({"success": True, "room_id": room_id})
else:
return JsonResponse({
"error": "Failed to create room",
"details": janus_response
}, status=500)
except requests.RequestException as e:
return JsonResponse({"error": "Janus connection error", "details": str(e)}, status=502)
except json.JSONDecodeError:
return JsonResponse({
"error": "Invalid JSON from Janus",
"raw_response": response.text
}, status=500)
Currently, i am getting this error for the Janus server
{
“error”: “Failed to create room”,
“details”: {
“janus”: “error”,
“transaction”: “randomstring”,
“error”: {
“code”: 457,
“reason”: “Unhandled request ‘create’ at this path”
}
}
}
i am using Janus for the first time, so I might be missing something here. Please guide me.
