  title: Dacast Analytics Playlists API
  description: 'RESTful JSON API for the Dacast live streaming and video hosting (OTT) platform. Covers live channels, video on demand (VOD), playlists, and viewer analytics. Authentication uses an X-Api-Key request header. API access is gated to Scale and Custom plans (trial accounts can request temporary access from Dacast sales).

    Grounding note: the base host (https://developer.dacast.com), the v2 versioning, X-Api-Key auth, and the operations POST /v2/vod, POST /v2/channel, POST /v2/playlist, and GET /v2/playlist/{playlistId} are confirmed from Dacast''s public developer docs (docs.dacast.com). Operations marked "x-modeled: true" are honestly modeled REST shapes for capabilities Dacast documents but whose exact paths, verbs, or parameters are not published; verify against the developer portal before use.'
