Quickchannel API Documentation Hub

Welcome to the Quickchannels development hub. In here, you’ll find the various Quickchannel APIs which you can use to interact with the Quickchannel video platform. You’ll notice references to Screen9 throughout, this is because the Screen9 and Quickchannel have merged under the Quickchannel brand but the platform is primarily based on Screen9, hence the references to Screen9 herein.

APIs

The platform’s functionality is divided into multiple APIs.

  • REST API Used to access the main functionality of the video platform, manage content, build integrations and automate workflows.

  • Quickchannel Players - Quickchannel players. Used to display and control video from the platform with advanced features and customizability, allowing interaction between the host site and the video player.

  • Statistics API - Used to fetch session-based viewer statistics.

Legacy APIs

The legacy APIs may not cover more recently introduced features but are still supported for backwards compatibility. However, for new integrations, you are advised to use our more modern APIs listed above.

  • XML-RPC API - Used to access the main functionality of the video platform, manage content, build integrations and automate workflows (superseded by the REST API).

  • Ajax API - Used to display and control media in the legacy flash based player using JavaScript.
