Content API Integration Guide
Learn how to develop an integration with our content API, enabling you to sync Wexer's huge content library into your platform. You can also leverage Wexer's content CMS and CDN network, to upload you own content - saving you all the effort and hassle.
Introduction
The Content API is intended to work as a platform to platform sync, not as a realtime delivery mechanism for your end user applications. It is generally recommended to run a sync once per day, but this can be more frequent if required for specific cases. You can then develop an end user experience, for example an interface where users can browse the content. When a user wants to play a video, your application will request a streaming link at runtime.
Steps to run a POC
The steps required to run an end to end POC/test are as follows:
- Run a sync of the content metadata into your platform using the List Media endpoint
- Setup your video player - we recommend to use a JW Cloud Player, which we can configure and supply for you.
- Use the Stream endpoint to request a streaming URL for the media {tag}, which you can find in your metadata sync. {userId} should be a unique reference to a user in your system.
- Post a completed play event to the Wexer platform using the Playback endpoint.
