Distribution APIs Overview

Zype's Distribution APIs allow you to access videos and playlists in your Zype library and serve them on your website and in video apps. With Zype's Distribution APIs you can build awesome video streaming destinations for your audience. You can also use Zype's Distribution APIs to set up powerful content rules to limit distribution by geography in situations where you have content licensing agreements that restrict where you can distribute your content.

Below you'll find a list of our Distribution API endpoints, along with a brief description of what they do and a link to the developer documentation.

  • Videos API - used to retrieve videos in your video library. Use this API to get access to individual videos in your library for display on your website or in your video apps. You can access a video, its associated metadata, and thumbnail images to create awesome video experiences in your distribution endpoints. You can also use parameters to filter a list of videos, including by video source type, active/inactive status, and more.
  • Playlists API - used to retrieve playlists in your video library. Playlists are curated sets of videos in your Zype library, often used for displaying content to your audience in your video apps or websites.
