ApsaraVideo Live:AddShowIntoShowList

Last Updated:Dec 24, 2025

Adds an episode to an episode list.

Operation description

Before you call this operation, you must create a production studio in playlist mode and add video resources to the production studio. Then, you can call this operation to add shows from the production studio to the playlist. To create a production studio using an API, see Create a production studio.

You can add a maximum of 1,000 shows to a playlist.

Important
  • When you use resources from ApsaraVideo VOD, prioritize resources from hosted buckets. Resources from your own buckets may expire. If you use resources from your own buckets, be aware of their validity period.

  • When you add media resources to a production studio, prioritize resources from ApsaraVideo LIVE and ApsaraVideo VOD. If you add a resource from a third-party URL, playback may fail. Ensure that the resource is of high quality and is valid.

QPS limits

The queries per second (QPS) limit for this operation is 10 calls per second per user. API calls that exceed this limit are throttled, which may affect your business. We recommend that you call this operation at a reasonable rate to prevent throttling.

Try it now

Try this API in OpenAPI Explorer, no manual signing needed. Successful calls auto-generate SDK code matching your parameters. Download it with built-in credential security for local usage.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
