  title: Brightcove Player Management API Reference Plugin Registry API
  description: "Reference for the Brightcove Player Management API, used to manipulate players, player configurations and child players (embeds). To test API requests, you can use our [API Testing Tools](/getting-started/concepts-testing-tools-brightcove-apis.html). Popular testing tools include:\n\n  - [cURL](https://general.support.brightcove.com/developer/concepts-set-curl.html)\n  - [Postman](/general/use-postman-api-requests.html) - note that the tutorial here uses the Player Management API as an example\n  - [Insomnia](/general/use-insomnia-api-requests.html) - note that the tutorial here uses the Player Management API as an example\n\nIf you haven't gone through [Step-by-Step: Player Management](/player-management/getting-started/step-step-player-management.html), it's highly recommended you start there. You'll get security set up and learn some of the basics of using the Player Management API.\n\nIf you are working with this API for the first time, read the [Player Management API Overview](/player-management/getting-started/overview-player-management-api.html).\n\nRemember that after making any configuration changes you **MUST** re-publish your player. **Note:** Fields in configuration objects need to be set only if you wish to change their values. Fields in configuration objects will be displayed in the response only if explicitly set. For information on authenticating API requests, see [OAuth Overview](/oauth/getting-started/overview-oauth-api-v4.html).\n\nFor additional in-depth guides to features of the API, see the **[general documentation](/player-management/references/index.html)**.\n\nBase URL: https://players.api.brightcove.com/v2"
