Resources and Subresources

The Platform Management API is a RESTful API structured around resources.

A resource provides a common structure to manage aspects of your JW Player products and features. For example, in the route /v2/sites/{site_id}/media, media is a resource.

Some resources have subresources. A subresource shares an ID with a resource and inherits information (like created, last_updated) from that resource. A subresource provides a more specific context for interacting with a resource. For example, in the route /v2/sites/site_id/playlists/article_matching_playlist/, an article matching playlist is a subresource of the playlist resource.

While certain resources and subresources have resource-specific fields, all resources and subresources share certain features:

• Immutable top-level properties
• Mutable metadata object properties
• Common top-level properties
