CLOUD PLAYOUT APISchedule and EPG

Export what a channel plays as CSV

This endpoint returns the same timeline as the get what a channel plays endpoint, as a CSV file you can open in a spreadsheet or hand to a scheduling team.

How it works

  1. Make a GET request to this endpoint with the channel’s type and the period you want, using startTime and endTime. Both are required.

  2. The response is a CSV file, sent as an attachment with a generated filename.

  3. Each row is one thing the channel plays, in play order, with its media id, duration in seconds, start time, end time and type. For a loop channel there is also a program id column.

A single export can cover at most 10 days. A longer period is trimmed to the first 10 days rather than refused.

Example

A scheduling team exports next week’s running order for a channel and reviews it in a spreadsheet before the week starts.
