ApsaraVideo Live:AddShowIntoShowList

Last Updated:Jul 15, 2026

Adds a show to a playlist.

Operation description

Before calling this operation, create a playlist mode production studio (NormType=6) and add video resources to it. To create a production studio by using an API operation, refer to CreateCaster.

Each playlist can contain up to 1000 shows.

Important
  • When using video-on-demand (VOD) resources, use managed Bucket resources first. Resources in your own Bucket may expire. If you use resources in your own Bucket, check the resource validity period.

  • Use ApsaraVideo Live and ApsaraVideo VOD resources as input for the production studio. Resources from third-party URLs may fail to play. Verify the quality and validity of such resources.

QPS limit

The single-user QPS limit for this operation is 10 calls per second. If this limit is exceeded, the API calls are throttled, which may affect your business. Call this operation appropriately.

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.
