  "customer_id": "<customer-id>",
  "customer_name": "<customer-name>",
  "expired_at": "2024-05-08T08:27:42.882Z"
}

Note:

1. In the example above, only the expired_at or expires_in parameter should be used, not both. If you choose to use expires_in, replace the expired_at parameter with expires_in": "3600s" to set a token that expires in 1 hour.
2. If a request is made with an expired token, the API will respond with the error code ERROR_REASON_TOKEN_EXPIRED.

Verify Token and Retrieve Token Information

To validate the token and retrieve associated information, use the following API with the obtained resource token: GET /bv/playback/v1/resources/token-info

A successful response will include the UTC expiration time of the token under expired_at:

{
  "expired_at": "2024-05-10T13:00:33.540Z"
}

The API will return a 400 BadRequest error under the following conditions:

1. Invalid Token: If the token is invalid, the response will include an ERROR_REASON_TOKEN_INVALID error reason.
2. Expired Token: If the token has expired, the response will include an ERROR_REASON_TOKEN_EXPIRED error reason.

Access Code Protection

The showroom will only be accessible with an authorized token when the VOD's privacy is set to SECURITY_PRIVACY_TYPE_TOKEN.

BlendVision offers the Access Code feature, allowing you to generate multiple unique token-authorized access codes, which serve as unique passwords when users visit the showroom website.

The Access Code is token-based, so the device limit will comply with the privacy settings of your VOD.

To utilize the showroom website with access codes, you will distribute the same website URL along with different unique Access Code to your audience:

The required parameters are:

• id: The ID of the Livestream or VOD for which you want to generate redeem codes.
• type: RESOURCE_TYPE_VOD.
• amount: The number of access codes you want to generate. The maximum is 1000.
