Supported Feed Pagination

IRIS.TV prefers that clients use pagination for asset feeds. This allows IRIS.TV to import the client's full library instead of a set of most recent assets. IRIS.TV supports the following pagination methods:

  • Offset parameter: Feed parameters that allow for calling a specific number of assets and an offset for how far to go into the feed.
  • Next Link pagination: link for next page is included in the current page.

Recommended Video Asset Ordering

IRIS.TV recommends that feeds are ordered by an "updated_at" field on the assets. That ensures that all asset updates are imported into the recommendation system.

  • No labels
