# Collect video IDs
### API v2 now available
Visit the API v2 documentation or follow the migration guide to upgrade.
***
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`](https://developers.dailymotion.com/reference/video-fields#/id) field to embed your content.
* **Private content** - You must use the [`private_id`](https://developers.dailymotion.com/reference/video-fields#/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`](https://developers.dailymotion.com/reference/video-fields#/private), 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`](https://developers.dailymotion.com/reference/video-fields#/title) - Allows you to easily identify the content you would like to migrate.
* [`id`](https://developers.dailymotion.com/reference/video-fields#/id) - The unique video identifier.
* [`private_id`](https://developers.dailymotion.com/reference/video-fields#/private_id) - The ID allowing a user to access to a **private** content (set to `null` if the content is public).
