Collect video ids

You can use the Platform API to easily collect video IDs in order to embed your content on your properties.

In this article, you'll learn the different privacy settings available in our Platform API, and how to easily collect the right content ID for the embed.

Understand content privacy

Depending on the privacy set on the content, the embed code will require a specific content id:

  • Public or password protected content - You must use the id field to embed your content.
  • Private content - You must use the private_id field to embed your content.

If you want to get more information about the content privacy options, please read our video privacy guide.

⚠️

Collect private_id:

When a content privacy is set on private=true, the private_id is not accessible publicly and requires API authentication. Only Organization members with proper access will be able to retrieve it.

Collect video ID

We suggest you to always request the following fields when collecting video IDs to make sure you always have all the necessary information, no matter the embed method used (direct integration, CMS...):

  • title - Allows you to easily identify the content you would like to migrate.
  • id - The unique video identifier.
  • private_id - The ID allowing a user to access to a private content (set to null if the content is public).
