1. API Description

Domain name for API request: vod.tencentcloudapi.com.

This API is used to search for media information and supports filtering and sorting the returned results in many ways. It can:

Fuzzily search by media file name or description.
Retrieve media files by category and tag.
- Specify the ClassIds category set (please see the input parameters) and return the media files in any category in the set. For example, assuming that there are categories of Movies, TV Series, and Variety Shows, and there are subcategories of History, Action, and Romance in the category of Movies, if Movies and TV Series are specified in ClassIds, then all the subcategories under Movies and TV Series will be returned; however, if History and Action are specified in ClassIds, only the media files in those two subcategories will be returned.
- Specify the Tags tag set (please see the input parameters) and return the media files with any tag in the set. For example, assuming that there are tags of ACG, Drama, and YTPMV, if ACG and YTPMV are specified in Tags, then any media files with either tag will be retrieved.
Filter media files from a specified source (Source) (please see the input parameters).
Filter LVB recording media files by LVB push code and Vid (please see the input parameters).
Filter media files by the creation time range.
Mix and match any filters above to retrieve the media files that meet all the specified criteria. For example, you can filter the media files with the tag of "Drama" in the category of "Movies" created between December 1, 2018 and December 8, 2018.
Sort the results and return them in multiple pages by specifying Offset and Limit (please see the input parameters).

Upper limit of returned results:

- The Offset and Limit parameters determine the number of search results on one single page. Note: if both of them use the default value, this API will return up to 10 results. - Up to 5,000 search results can be returned, and excessive ones will not be displayed. If there are too many search results, you are recommended to use more specified filters to narrow down the search results.

A maximum of 100 requests can be initiated per second for this API.
