`feedId`

The feedId parameter allows you to find videos in a specific feed. If no feedId is provided, all available videos across all feeds will be searched, depending on the networkVideos parameter. This makes it easy to query videos belonging to a particular feed for targeted delivery.

curl "https://external.parone.io/v2/videos?mmi=your-mmi"

`networkVideos` Requires Network Videos

type: boolean

The networkVideos parameter determines whether or not to find videos from other organizations. By setting this to true, you’ll retrieve network-related videos; false limits results to just your organization’s videos.

# Example: Fetch videos including network syndicated content

curl "https://external.parone.io/v2/videos?networkVideos=1"

`watchedByTput` Requires TPUT

curl "https://external.parone.io/v2/videos?watchedByTput=your-user-tput"

`searchString`

type: string

The searchString parameter filters videos by matching titles, descriptions, or content keys. This allows users to search for videos that contain specific keywords or phrases, improving the efficiency of content discovery.

# Example: Search for videos containing specific text

curl "https://external.parone.io/v2/videos?searchString=bryson"

`categories`

type: array of strings

The categories parameter allows you to filter videos by specific categories assigned to them. By providing an array of strings, you can narrow down the video selection to those matching the specified categories. This is helpful when you need to organize videos based on custom groupings.

# Example: Fetch videos that belong to the 'golf' category

curl "https://external.parone.io/v2/videos?categories=golf"

`customFields` Requires Custom Fields

type: array of strings

You can filter videos based on custom fields using the customFields parameter. This allows you to specify a list of custom field entries that should match the video metadata. It provides flexibility for filtering content according to non-standard attributes set by your video library.

Custom fields use the ’!’ as the OR parameter

Character	Operation	Description
`!`	AND	Returns videos that match ALL of the specified values
`\|`	OR	Returns videos that match ANY of the specified values

# Find videos that have custom field "instructor" with values "harmon" or "pelz"
customFields=[{instructor:harmon|pelz}]

# Find videos that have custom field "instructor" with values "butch" and "harmon"
customFields=[{instructor:butch!harmon}]

`events` Requires Events

type: array of strings

The events parameter filters videos by specific events that are associated with them. By passing an array of event names or IDs, you can ensure that only videos tied to particular events are returned. This is useful for event-driven content filtering, such as tournaments or promotional events.

# Example: Fetch videos associated with specific events

curl "https://external.parone.io/v2/videos?events=event1,event2"

`tags`

type: array of strings

The tags parameter enables filtering of videos based on custom tags assigned to them. By passing an array of tags, you can narrow down the search to videos that have the specified tags, making it easier to categorize and retrieve videos based on specific keywords or themes.

# Example: Fetch videos with specific tags

curl "https://external.parone.io/v2/videos?tags=tag1,tag2"

`page`

type: integer

The page parameter allows you to specify which page of results you want to retrieve when paginating through a large set of videos. This is useful for breaking down large sets of data into manageable chunks, ensuring your application can load and display results without overwhelming the user interface.

# Example: Fetch the first page of video results

curl "https://external.parone.io/v2/videos?page=1"

`pageSize`

type: integer

The pageSize parameter sets the number of videos returned per page. By adjusting this value, you control the pagination size, which helps optimize performance and user experience when displaying video results. This parameter allows you to fine-tune the number of items shown in each batch of API responses.

# Example: Fetch 10 videos per page

curl "https://external.parone.io/v2/videos?page=1&pageSize=10"
