Token & Device Limit

With token-based content access control, you will have the capabilities and flexibility:

  • Playback Authorization: Content playback is exclusively granted with a valid token, which can be issued upon user authorization by your system, ensuring secured content access control.
  • Concurrent Device Limit: The token system allows you to set device limits, specifying how many devices a token can simultaneously use for content playback.
  • Membership System Integration: You can integrate the token with your existing membership system by including customer_id in your request parameters when generating tokens, enabling precise tracking of user engagement.

To enable token-based security protection and specify the device limit number of each token for your VODs, set associate API request body during creation:

POST /bv/cms/v1/vods

Configure the privacy request body with the following options:

Query ParametersDescription
typeSECURITY_PRIVACY_TYPE_TOKEN
tokenSpecify the number of device limit for each token in the device_limit field

Here's an example of the request body that sets the privacy type to token-based with device limit 100 for simultaneous playback of each token:

"privacy":{
"type":"SECURITY_PRIVACY_TYPE_TOKEN",
"token":{
"device_limit":100
}
}
