Export playlists to syndication channels

Learn how to syndicate content from your JW Platform


Using RSS and JSON feeds, you can export video content from your media library to syndication channels. The RSS and JSON feeds provide syndicators with information about the hosted or registered videos in your JWP account. With this additional information, you can seamlessly aggregate and distribute content through external channels and platforms.

🚧

Ingest requirements vary between syndication platforms. It is the publisher’s responsibility to format feeds according to the syndication platform’s specifications. Contact your syndication partner with questions.

Changing the format to partner_rss aligns RSS with the specifications of content syndicators. We recommend using partner_rss to ingest content into syndication partner platforms.

  1. Add page_limit (500 or less) and page_offset (multiples of 500 or less) parameters to the RSS or JSON URLs for each batch of 500 videos to be exported.
URL Type Examples
RSS
  • For the first 500 videos, use https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/playlists/{playlist_id}?format=partner_rss&page_limit=500
  • For the next 500 videos, use https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/playlists/{playlist_id}?format=partner_rss&page_limit=500&page_offset=500
