ApsaraVideo VOD:SearchMedia

Last Updated:Mar 03, 2024

Queries information about videos, audio, images, and auxiliary media assets. You can call this operation and specify the search protocol to query media assets based on the return fields, fields used for exact match, fields used for fuzzy match, fields used for a multi-value query, fields used for a range query, and sort fields.

Operation description

The maximum number of data records that you can query is limited based on the method used to query the data. You can use the following methods to query data:

  • Method 1: You must use the PageNo and PageSize parameters for the first 5,000 data records that meet the specified filter condition. This allows you to traverse data page by page. If the number of data records that meet the specified filter condition exceeds 5,000, use Method 2.

  • Method 2: This method applies only to the data of video and audio files. To traverse all the data records that meet the specified filter condition, you must set the PageNo, PageSize, and ScrollToken parameters to traverse data page by page. The total number of data records from the current page to the target page cannot exceed 1,200. Assume that the PageSize parameter is set to 20:

    • When the PageNo parameter is set to 1, you can scroll forward to traverse data records from page 1 to page 60 at most.
    • When the PageNo parameter is set to 2, you can scroll forward to traverse data records from page 2 to page 61 at most.
    • When the PageNo parameter is set to 61, you can scroll backward to traverse data records from page 61 to page 2 at most or scroll forward to traverse data records from page 61 to page 120 at most.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer.
