Videos are a blanket term for solid media files and stream sources. Connect’s version 2 API provides a single endpoint to Client callers to retrieve information on playable media and streams published to the Client Application.
Note: The version 2 API does not authenticate using a Connect user’s username and password using HTTP BASIC AUTH. Instead you create a client application using Connect’s web user interface. The client application is issued an ACCESS KEY and SECRET PASSPHRASE. These values must be passed in custom header values on every request.
