Introduction

movidoe's  Media Application Programming Interface (API) allows developers to interact with the platform through web-services. API's are based on the REST principles. Where each request can be an HTTP POST or GET, and the response is a gziped content (If client specified that gzip is supported).

Security

To prevent unauthorised access to the metadata the API is protected with tokens that are passed as a parameter when making API calls. To generate a token an authentication call must be made with your API Key and Application Alias.
Once you have the token it passed along with all API requests. The token has a session time out of 2 hours.

Media API Console

To help developers learn the Media API we have developed a Media API Console which allows you to experiment with your own meta-data.
This console give you access to all the available API calls and their various formats.
