Manage your library with the Management API
You can now use the Platform Management API v2 to manage your library and content.
The Platform Management API enables you to manage all aspects of your library. If you need to create a player for a specific use case, upload content programmatically, or manage the security of your content, you can use the Platform Management API to complete these tasks.
