MediaCore API

MediaCore currently has two APIs: the read-only JSON API which allows retrieval of metadata, and the Upload API which allows ingestion of media files into MediaCore. In the future we will release a complete REST API which will unify these capabilities, and add many more.

Note

This documentation is intended for the technically inclined who want to develop software that interfaces with MediaCore. If you’re looking for a simple guide to using the web app itself, please refer to our Support Site.
