Syndication

Support for Syndicated Content

The Dolby.io Real-time Streaming APIs supports the ability to track usage data across multiple streaming partners on a single stream by adding a trackingId parameter to an API generated Subscribe token or self-signed subscribe tokens.
​
This "syndication" mechanism allows you to send the same stream to multiple cohorts of viewers whilst tying a viewer data to a cohort via trackingId.
​
By querying your aggregated viewer data with the Analytics API or GraphQL API you can determine how much bandwidth was consumed, how many viewers were watching for which provider, and a few other statistics.

For more information, see the Syndication article.

Updates to REST APIs

Introduced the following Analytics APIs to query information based n your viewer's tracking ID and other information:

• Total bandwidth per TrackingID per stream
• Series bandwidth per TrackingID per stream
• Total bandwidth for streams specified by TrackingID
• Series bandwidth for streams specified by TrackingID

Updates to GraphQL API

The GraphQL API StreamView operation now includes the trackingID field.
