## Installation

There are several ways to add the Mux Java SDK to your project:

### Maven

Add this dependency to your project's POM:

```xml
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.mux</groupId>
  <artifactId>mux-sdk-java</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0</version>
  <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
```

### Gradle

Add this dependency to your project's build file:

```gradle
compile "com.mux:mux-sdk-java:1.0.0"
```

## Quickstart

To start, you'll need a Mux access token. Once you've got that, you're off to the races!

```java
// Import classes:
import com.mux.ApiClient;
import com.mux.ApiException;
import com.mux.Configuration;
import com.mux.auth.*;
import com.mux.models.*;
import com.mux.sdk.AssetsApi;

public class Example {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    ApiClient defaultClient = Configuration.getDefaultApiClient();
    defaultClient.setBasePath("https://api.mux.com");
    
    // Configure HTTP basic authorization: accessToken
    HttpBasicAuth accessToken = (HttpBasicAuth) defaultClient.getAuthentication("accessToken");
    accessToken.setUsername("YOUR USERNAME");
    accessToken.setPassword("YOUR PASSWORD");

    AssetsApi apiInstance = new AssetsApi(defaultClient);
    CreateAssetRequest createAssetRequest = {"input":[{"url":"https://muxed.s3.amazonaws.com/leds.mp4"}],"playback_policy":["public"],"video_quality":"basic"}; // CreateAssetRequest | 
    try {
      AssetResponse result = apiInstance.createAsset(createAssetRequest)
            .execute();
      System.out.println(result);
    } catch (ApiException e) {
      System.err.println("Exception when calling AssetsApi#createAsset");
      System.err.println("Status code: " + e.getCode());
      System.err.println("Reason: " + e.getResponseBody());
      System.err.println("Response headers: " + e.getResponseHeaders());
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

```
