VISUALPLANT: Internet Video Platform - Internet Media Platform

The VISUALPLANT Web Services API offers a simple and powerful way for publishers who use VISUALPLANT Platform to distribute their content in the form of protected data feeds using standard "REST" Web Services. A publisher's Web site, client application, set-top box application or any Internet venue can request titles that match specific search criteria, get most popular titles, get information about users and much more. The "metadata" and media files then get served from the VISUALPLANT "CMS" and geographically-distributed Network of CDNs.

The VISUALPLANT API is based on the most popular data syndication formats: XML, JSON, YAML and XSPF.

Some things you can do with the VISUALPLANT Web Services API:

Integrate your media library on your Web site or application under your own domain name. Domain-mapping is not necessary.
Create AJAX or Flash widgets to display your media content on any Web site under any domain name.
Create an entire Web site to allow users to view, comment-on and upload titles to/from your content library.
Create a desktop application or plugin providing all these features in your own customized environment.

If you host sites using VISUALPLANT, you may already be using our Web Services in an elaborate array of templates that we provide to you out-of-the-box. Naturally, we made good use of our own API to offer back to you VP Venue™ — micro-site builder for PHP (.NET also available).

To extend use of your media library to integrate with your existing site or to create hightly-customized micro-sites and applications, we provide you with live, granular access to your content to use in ways limited only by your imagination.

The VISUALPLANT Web Services API distributes your content anywhere you choose on the Internet.
