Using Annoto Widget API

In Customise Annoto Widget configuration we have learned how to listen to Kaltura player events and get access to the widget configuration and the API:

kWidget.addReadyCallback(function (playerId) {
        player.kBind('annotoPluginReady', function (annotoApi) {
                // Make use of the Annoto API
        });
});

The annotoApi can be used to accomplish various tasks such as dynamically hide/show the widget, load new configuration and maybe the most common task to perform Single Sign On (SSO) authentication:

var userJwtToken = '....';
player.kBind('annotoPluginReady', function (annotoApi) {
    // Make use of the Annoto API
    // If we already have the userJwtToken use it,
    // alternatively the annotoAPI can be saved in a variable
    // and used asynchronously.
    annotoApi.auth(userJwtToken).catch(function(err) {
        console.error('Annoto SSO auth error: ', err);
    });
});
