Retrieve the recordings for an account (operator endpoint)

Request

To get all the recordings for an account, send a GET request to:

https://<host>:<port>/cdvr/v2/operator/recordings/accounts/{accountId}

Headers

  • Content-Type: application/json

  • tenantID – the operator’s tenant ID

Mandatory arguments

  • accountId – the ID of the account

Optional arguments (in URL query)

  • limit – the number of records to return

  • page – the page number to return (cannot be used without limit)
    For example:

    • ?limit=10 returns the first 10 recordings.

    • ?limit=10&page=2 returns the second 10 recordings.

  • sort – the sort order of the returned recordings. It can be one of:

    • CHRONOLOGICAL_ASC

    • CHRONOLOGICAL_DESC

    • EXPIRATION_ASC

    • EXPIRATION_DESC

    • DURATION_ASC

    • DURATION_DESC

    • METADATA_ASC

    • METADATA_DESC

  • sortField – the metadata field used for sorting if METADATA_ASC or METADATA_DESC is specified in sort. It can be one of:

    • TITLE

    • SYNOPSIS

    • DESCRIPTION

    • SEASON_NUMBER

    • EPISODE_NUMBER

    • EPISODE

    • DEFINITION

    • YEAR

  • sortLocale – the locale to be used for sorting. Only required if METADATA_ASC or METADATA_DESC is specified in sort.

  • genericSort – generic sort that allows you to sort the results by one or more fields. If you specify multiple fields, the results will be sorted by the first specified field, then the second, and so on.
    You must append :1 or :-1 to specify whether the sort is ascending (1) or descending (1-).
    For example, to sort by title, then series number, then episode number, add this to the query:

    &genericSort={
         "programmeMetaData.title":1,
         "programmeMetaData.editorial.seriesRef":1,
         "programmeMetaData.editorial.episodeNumber":1
    }
    
  • statuses – filters based on recording status. Available values are:

    • SCHEDULED

    • RECORDING

    • RECORDED

    • FAILED

    • NEW

    To specify multiple values (e.g., if you want to get both scheduled and recorded requests), use the statuses parameter as many times as required.
    For example:

    ?statuses=SCHEDULED&statuses=RECORDED

  • filter – a generic filter that allows you to filter the results based on the value of any field

  • fields – the fields to include in the response

  • locale – the locale to filter by. If not specified, the default locale will be used. If neither the specified nor the default locale is available, all locales will be returned. Note that the 'none' metadata locale is common in all instances.

  • deviceType – the device type to filter by

  • distinct – return only the most recently recorded episode per series (only valid when type=SERIES).

  • type – the type of recordings to include in the response:

    • INDIVIDUAL – individual programme recordings or episodes that are part of a series but that were recorded individually

    • SERIES – recordings made as part of a series recording (that is, where all episodes of the series are to be recorded)

  • period.start – only include recordings from after the specified time (in Unix epoch seconds).
    This is typically used together with period.end to specify a time window.

  • period.end – only include recordings from before the specified time (in Unix epoch seconds).
    This is typically used together with period.start to specify a time window.

Response

A successful request returns an HTTP 200 status.

If the specified account does not exist, the request returns an HTTP 404 status.

Example

A successful request returns a payload that looks like this:
