| JWP media IDs | Unique identifier for a JWP video If you do not know the ID of the applicable video, use one of the following approaches to retrieve the media ID: API approach: 1. Make a GET https://api.jwplatform.com/v1/videos/list call. 2. In the API response, locate the videos[].key of the applicable video. Dashboard approach: From the video list page, copy the ID in the MEDIA ID column. If the MEDIA ID column is not exposed, click the gear icon above the list of videos. From the list that appears, select Media ID. |
