Video Advertising API

VidShout offers a powerful API that enables resellers, software developers or bulk advertisers to interface with our video advertising system. Our video API solution is ideal for providers or vendors who would like to wrap video creation and advertising solutions into their existing product or service offering.

Accessing the API
To gain access to the VidShout API, you must first contact us to setup an API account. If you are approved for an API account, you will be assigned a unique Application ID and secure access to our interface. You will be provided with full API documentation after your API application is approved. Following is a basic overview of how to submit and retrieve videos using the API.

Submitting Videos
Once you have received your Application ID, you can begin your development and start submitting videos, listings and images to our system. Following is an example of how you would submit a video creation request.
