The JW Platform Management API at api.jwplatform.com provides a set of classes for managing all aspects of your library.
The Platform Management API features a straightforward authentication mechanism and multiple output formats. This reference describes in detail how our API works and which classes and assets are available.
IMPORTANT
To ensure fair access for all, usage of the JW Platform Management API (api.jwplatform.com) is limited to 60 calls per minute for most routes. The /videos/list route is limited to 30 calls per minute. Calls that exceed this rate will result in a 429 Rate Limit Exceeded error and will not be executed. If you need a higher API rate, please contact us to get your account upgraded. Note that calls to the Delivery API (cdn.jwplayer.com) do not count towards the API rate limit.
