  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.'

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Dacast Playlists API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
