Bookmarks service demonstration page

User playlists & bookmarks

Bookmarks are simply media contents a user chose to save as a favourite for instance, or to be able to watch it later. These bookmarks are saved within a playlist, which is basically an array of bookmarks.

Updating a user's bookmarks

To be able to create a bookmark, a playlist should first be created. This playlist contains few informations: - the playlist id - a name - a system flag

Then a bookmark can be created to save a user content. A bookmarks is composed of: - a bookmark id - a creation date - a media_id

The Bookmarks service is responsible of: - creating a playlist. - deleting a playlist. - creating a new bookmark at the top of the related playlist regarding the creation date. - deleting bookmarks.

Saving bookmarks

The Bookmarks service returns playlists and bookmarks. Any bookmark can be added to a playlist, and there is no limitation regarding the number of elements in a playlist. For each bookmarks, the API returns its creation date and the related media id if you want to display/use it.
